and a lot of Democrats thought the other guy would do the voting and stayed home. Unfortunately, the right wing religious nuts always go out to vote, it's how they're going to get into heaven and meet Jebus, voting for hate filled right wing Republicans.

However, even they couldn't stomach EW Jackson, so crazy that Cooch backed away from him, and who did lose by double digits.
