Darcy raising eyebrows with a surprising 9th place showing in early returns.

Numerous DU posters have been keeping DU appraised of progressive Merrill Lynch stockbroker Darcy Richardson as a symbolic alternative to President Obama.

Many of us who thought that Darcy wouldn't get any votes have been proven wrong as Darcy is showing 49 votes with 16% in and could break 500 votes at this pace.

By comparison Vermin Supreme pictured here




who ran on a platform of mandatory tooth brushing already has already gotten 143.

Watch the results here and see if Darcy can move into 8th place.
