Never underestimate the stupidity of the voting public.

News from Texas.

The democratic primary for US senate had three contestants. Richard Noriega, a congressman. Ray McMurrey, a school teacher and Gene Kelly an attorney, not the dancer from the movies.

The results were as follows: Noriega 51%, Kelly 27% anf McMurrey 12%.

Noriega was expected to win. He did.

Now to the other two. McMurrey, although running in his first race for office actively campaigned acros the state; debated Noriega and poured his heart and soul into the race. Sooo...who did he come in second to?

Gene Kelly, has run for an office or another, from supreme court of Texas to US senator, for as long as I can remember. He never ever campaigns or does anything other than put his name on the ballot. He attracts a good number of votes because of  his name. Yes, voters think he is the other Gene Kelly, the dancer.  Now that is stupid. But it works.

Truly amazed...
