Title: Meet William Smith, the invisible candidate
Post by: TechMan on March 07, 2012, 09:47:23 PM: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120307/NEWS/303070133 (http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120307/NEWS/303070133)

Unknown guy from Pike County OH wins the D primary for the 2nd Congressional District of Ohio. Won by 59 votes out of 20,000 cast. None of the D party leaders know who this guy is. Cincinnati Enquirer tries to get a hold of the guy and his mother answers the phone and says she will pass along the message. He is 61 years old. A superPAC called for him. FEC reports show that he spent no money on his campaign.

=| [tinfoil] :lol:

Ohio Second Congressional District is the dark blue in the lower left hand corner of Ohio

A LaRouche-ie?

I don't know if LaRoache is still around, but in my recollection it was always the D.s that seemed to get stung by stealth LaRouche candidates.

No kidding. That was a national story, in case you didn't know.

This stuff cracks me up.

IIRC he was in the last season of HAWAII FIVE-O.

The very mention of Alvin Greene makes me facepalm.
