Title: david cobb and the south, 2004 Post by: WalterMitty on August 23, 2006, 08:43:53 PM can someone much smarter than i tell me why david cobb's best county was sharkey ms (4.69%!) it was his best county by far. the second best county was only 1.26%
also, why was his fifth best county mccormick sc (0.98%) Title: Re: david cobb and the south, 2004 Post by: Colin on August 23, 2006, 09:47:57 PM To make it even stranger Badnarik's second best result, behind Loving, Texas (population 70), was in Sharkey County where he won 2.39% of the vote.
EDIT: A Socialist Workers Party candidate named Roger Calero also recieved 3.04% in Sharkey County his only large percentage in Mississippi.

They're might still be some old threads left if you searched. well, im reviving the discussion. weve had brtd's poll "opebo vs. the stripper that gave me a hand-job" more than once too.

Title: Re: david cobb and the south, 2004 Post by: Cubby on August 26, 2006, 01:45:21 PM The point was that Sharkey County was an anomaly and the results don't reflect the intentions of the voters. I can't remember if it was the ballot itself or some other cause. A rural Mississippi county with no colleges isn't going to be a hotbed of Green Party support.
