To quote Leslie Nielsen in one of the Naked Gun movies: "No prison can hold me! Attica! Attica! Kill Whitey!"

When did being a rich whitey become an electoral obstacle?

Honestly, though, it was probably the most (and most effective) publicity he got throughout the entire campaign.

7: Holy shit you have a memory. I did vote for him, now that you've mentioned the name. I think I shook his hand outside the polling station.

6: It's from the third one. What happened to the Zuckers anyway? They always had a puerile streak, and I suppose Tea Partyism is political puerility, but still.

But, "Titus" is nearly as memorable was "Whitey."

Maybe if his name were Titus Whitus ...

I don't see anything funny about that. I have a very good friend in Wome called Titus Whitus.

I'm fairly sure it wasn't a typo. Someone working for the Board of Elections got tired of seeing his name.

The Green candidate for Senate in SC got about ten percent of the vote running against DeMint and Greene.

18: Hey, 10% ain't half bad! Okay, so this is what we need for a Green Party win: a race between a complete flaming asshole nutcase, and a regular nutcase. (Did anyone ever figure out how Greene won that primary? Was his opponent that bad? Wikipedia tells us that Greene's considering a Presidential run in 2012.)

Seriously, though, I didn't even realize DeMint was up for reelection this year.
