Anyone one recall the LaRouche fiasco back in 1986, I think it was. The regular democrats' ticket included Aurelia Pucinski, daughter of Chicago alderman Roman Pucinski, and George Sangmeister and the LaRouchies were Janice Hart and Mark Fairchild. The LaRouchies won the Illinois primary by carrying Chicago by landslide; the theory was that the good democrats of Chicago liked nice names like Hart and Fairchild and didn't like "threatening" ethnic names like Pucinski and Sangmeister.
I still get a good laugh out of that one.
