Not Presidential, but look at Lugar's libertarian challenger's results in this election.  He somehow won a county getting about 10% of the vote.

That was a clerical error on CNN's part.  Osborn's vote count in Warren county should have been 341, not 3,419.  It's likely that a data entry guy accidentally brushed the 9 key when going to hit enter and didn't bother to double-check Indiana results, thinking the state inconsequential.

You can see the correct result here.

According to Dave, it was actually Indiana, not CNN.  But it was an error.

Whatever, my point still stands. Tongue
