Well, the bright side is that it's virtually impossible for anyone to have known that the guy was this stupid. He didn't make one campaign appearance; Didn't televise one campaign spot; Didn't knock on one single door the ENTIRE campaign.

The downside is all these people voted for him probably because his name was first on the ticket. Whomever we run in 2012 has to have a last name that begins with a letter that comes before "O".

I think I am beginning to be against the right to vote without an IQ exam. This craziness has to stop.

All public schools has to be shut down at once and all students has to go in Siberia to learn what's life is about. They won't learn more here in public schools anyway so at least they will learn about life without a cell phone - iPhone at al...and may be when they will get back they will be able to think before they vote.

Ahh we did that last time.

(Unless I am misremembering the alphabet and "M" doesn't come before "O" anymore...)

No, we should just rotate the alphabet such that O is where Z is now. That ought to solve it just fine. You betcha!

Seriously, I don't think he won because his name was the first D on a ballot of D's. Why turn out to vote in a primary of all D's unless you care which D wins? I think he won because the voters either (a) knew he was the black one or (b) knew Vic Rawl was white and had never heard of Alvin Greene but chose him because he wasn't Vic Rawl. IOW, I accuse the South Carolina Donk voters of racism!
