7. The problem was the vote was split in 2010 and we don't have run-off.

He won with 38%. The Dem and moderate Indy split almost all of the rest of the vote (with about 7% going to various lower rung candidates). The moderate Indy got 36%. The Dem got 19%. This TeaBag asshole got in as did so many other TeaBag asshats around the country in 2010. Can't blame the majority of the state. If we had run-off, this asshat would never have won. The moderate Indy would have won.
