9. Low information voter schizophrenia helped as well.

I live in a rural area with poor media coverage. No daily newspapers, 5 weeklies struggling to survive in a polarized world. High School AV club doing the TV news.

There were a stunning number of voters in my county who filled in circles for top ticket Dems and state legislative Pukes. Neighboring county, too, even with a daily Gannett rag kissing puke ass.

Door knocking has completely proven itself a waste of time in the last two years. With the Gerrymandering we're stuck with now, a puke will have to get caught screwing a pooch to get unelected, and even then it's doubtful in some districts.

The good news is that Wanker is probably shitting bricks about now. Obama and Baldwin won by good margins against candidates as sleazy and nasty as he is. If he hasn't figured out the tide is turning, he ain't too bright.
