Why is Davis apparently so appealing?

He strikes me as a backbencher, so he must have some local appeal that I'm not aware of.

Buffalo is super-parochial, hence why Quinn was able to win landslide reelection over and over, and also why Paladino received results in the Buffalo area that would seem typical of a >60% Republican landslide in the middle of a >60% Democratic landslide.

Another lame spoiler election. It worked in my party's favor this time, but it's still stupid...

With Corwin's horrific numbers among Davis supporters I really don't see this as a spoiler election.

Gore had worse numbers than Bush among Nader supporters. When people gravitate towards a third party, they often retroactively decide they would never have voted for "their" major-party candidate, even if they really would have.
