OREGON - In a world where most everyone strives for "more" and "better," being average has seemed to take on an almost negative connotation.

However, one Ohio man is proud to, be average and feels being the "average Joe" will I give him the insight and empathy to be a good leader for the rest of the Average Joes and Janes that populate America.

So he's taking his "average platform" and making a run for the Oval Office.

Joe Schriner is quick to point out that he boasts an average height (5'10"), and average weight (155). He went to an average college (Bowling Green State University), where he got average grades. He has an average size family (two kids) and lived in an average Midwestern small town (Ripley, Ohio).
