You both aren't counting 19,000 votes for Dunafon. Something tells me those folks wouldn't have voted for Hick... having met Mr. Dunafon a couple times, he's not exactly a Democrat-friendly candidate. Nearly 50,000 votes vs 19,500? Yeah, that's enough to swing an election. Someone please tell me again how 3rd party candidates haven't torpedoed an election from the clutches of Republicans.
