I don't know him but did run into him and the drummer Tommy Lee of another band and talked to both of them on the same day an hour or two apart in Del Mar, Ca. in '88. It was not during a concert and they were not playing music.
My impression was that they were both very egotistical and shallow. Nugent seemed to want all the attention from as big a crowd as he could draw while Lee seemed to expect people to recognize him as he moved around. At the time I had some idea of Nugent's stance on drugs, guns etc. but seeing him that day and watching him in action (maybe acting?) did not turn me into a fan.
My impression of that one encounter - he is a strange guy. I wouldn't vote for him running for anything.
