Raymond C. Stebbins (born c. 1944) is an American attorney and political activist and a member of the Democratic Party. He is best known as the winner of the Democratic New Hampshire Vice Presidential primary in 2008. A 64-year-old resident (as of February 2008) of Weymouth, Massachusetts, he is a retired corporate attorney. He has never held public office, but is frequently involved in political campaigns. The Vice Presidential primary is a very low key event and usually no prominent candidate participates. The Vice Presidential primary also has no impact on the nomination process. Some past vice presidential nominees, however, have won as write-ins (for example, Estes Kefauver, Al Gore, and John Edwards). Stebbins won the primary with 46.93% of the vote. During his campaign, his bumper stickers included the phrases "Vote for Ray Stebbins, Vice President", "easy to remove" and "so you wouldn’t have it on there for years." Stebbins cited Harry Truman as his political hero and favorite Vice President.
