MURICA!!!: Gohmert/West narrowly defeats Manchin/Brown

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)/Gov. Allen West (R-FL.) - 284 EVs, 47.5%
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)/Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH.) - 254 EVs, 51%

Lowest Turn out In Election History!

In spite of losing the popular vote, Louie Gohmert, congressman from Texas and famous pro-claimer of "Terror Babies", has won the presidency, in spite of even the last poll before the election showing Manchin/Brown up by ten points or more. Looking at the results, though, its easy to see why. Joe Manchin was a very conservative democrat, and did not inspire democrats to vote, explaining the extremely low turn out from Democrats, in spite of a Republican ticket so ridiculous (or maybe because of that too). It was also, in many ways, because Gohmert and West put a lot of their focus on the rust belt, where they had been gaining some traction considering the social conservatism of many swing voters in that region. Overall, this one is for the history books, a true shocker!

Gov. Allen West

...........

He's MURICA's Governor, successfully primaries Rick Scott, Dem's nominate some uber liberal FDP hack who has a huge scandal happen two weeks away from the election.

Gohmert wins the Republican nomination thanks to a huge fight in Iowa between Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio, wins South Carolina thanks to a big fight between Marco Rubio and Chris Christie, and thanks to infighting within the party, he manages to swipe the nomination from the front-runners hands. Moderates do not vote, as the moderate independent candidacy of Huntsman/Hagel collapses half-way through due to a plane crash.

A primary challenge is plausible, but I'm interested as to who this uber-liberal FDP hack with the huge scandal is. Alex Sink and Charlie Crist are both moderates, if not conservatives, and both of them have been through enough election cycles for any scandals to be old news by now. Iorio is pro-mass transit but has also been credited with a major drop in crimes (not exactly a liberal hallmark). Rich has made her main issue funding for programs for senior citizens and has been non-notable and bland in the Legislature. Buddy Dyer maybe, but he doesn't strike me as an uber-liberal. The only uber-liberal the FDP could run is Wasserman Schultz, which isn't that plausible, or maybe Anthony Shriver (but I'd vote West over Shriver). I really don't see anyone in that mold around here.

It was Shriver!
