Question: Daniel Imperato, his legitimacy as a candidate, and some useful biographical information research strategies/resources

Who is Daniel Imperato? He has a gazillion self-generated web pages and news releases but they all come from him. He claims to be running for president in 2008. Can we get any proof that he is some kind of legitimate candidate or is he just making this up? And suppose you are a reference librarian, and a patron asks you who a person is, what he stands for, what he has accomplished in life, what his personal history is. What do you do?
