Yep, that sure did him in. Wasn't the votes, it was the info on dad.
I'm not counting Maine as that was a caucus state and a lot of weirdness went on up there. I haven't read a Stephen King book in a while - is any of his recent stuff good? My favorite Stephen King book was The Shining but I'm not entirely happy how the movie adaptation turned out. I think the movie adaptation was over the top.
