Laurie Roth, a syndicated radio talk show host who broadcasts from Spokane County, is trying to parlay her strong conservatism, an unusual tax plan and the story of her near-death experience into a long-shot bid for the presidency. The self-described Annie Oakley of the Airwaves says she was called by God about a year ago to make the campaign journey from her double-wide trailer in Elk, Wash., to the White House and turn the nation around. “I am the comeback kid. I am the Seabiscuit story,” said Roth, a 51-year-old mother of two. “America is road kill, and so was I.” On Saturday she’ll find out if the Constitution Party, one of the nation’s largest third-party organizations, will put her atop their ticket in the fall election. She’s one of three main candidates – along with Virgil Goode, a former Republican congressman from Virginia, and Robby Wells, a former college football coach – seeking the conservative political party nomination at its national convention in Nashville/Jim Camden, SR.
