Alan Keyes Almost as Popular as "Whomever"

Indecision 2008 reader thisniss dropped this piece of hardcore science in the comments of last night's North Indiarolina liveblog…

You really fell down on this one, Indy08. Your so-called "something approximating election news" completely failed to note the most important return of the night!

Alan Keyes won almost 3% of the vote in the *Republican* Primary in NC. "No Preference" beat him by a mere 7036 votes!!

That's some serious Keyesceleration, right there! By Oregon, he'll be breaking 5%. If he's on the ballot, maybe. That would probably help.

I just looked into it, and it's totally true!

Jesus! What is wrong with us?! How did we let something this monumental slip past our drunken eyes last night?

We are something approximating very ashamed.
