Who Beat John Cox in New Hampshire?
What does a guy with a boot on his head, a fugitive and someone who spent just $1,000 on his campaign, and a man who was told by an angel to run for president have in common? They all beat John Cox in the New Hampshire Primary Tuesday!
Republican fringe candidate John Cox, who spent more than a million dollars over 21 months running for president received just 40 votes in New Hampshire’s First-in-The-Nation Primary Tuesday, Jan. 8.
He was, of course, beaten by John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and Ron Paul, all of whom spent millions in the state to attract votes.
But he was also beaten by many fellow "fringe" candidates, as well as others not so fringe.
Cox was beaten by "write-ins." Yes, nearly 5,000 people wrote in a name not on the ballot, and it wasn’t John Cox.
Fred Thompson, who barely campaigned in New Hampshire, got 2,884 votes. Duncan Hunter, who ran a horrible campaign and showed up only a few times, got 1,220.
With all 301 precincts reporting, Cox, who came to the state nearly two dozen times, got just 40 votes.
Alan Keyes, who threw his hat in the ring at the last minute, got more: 220 votes.
Stephen Marchuk, a - local NH guy who spent exactly $1000 - his filing fee, got 120 votes.
Jack Shepard, a fugitive living in Rome, Italy wanted for questioning in an arson investigation, beat John Cox with 120 votes.
Tom Tancredo, who dropped out after Iowa, still got 68 votes.
Hugh Cort, a man who was being managed by a former Cox staffer, and who was exactly like John Cox, only more religious and instead of being obsessed with the economy, is obsessed with nuclear terrorism, beat John Cox, by getting 43 votes.
Albert Howard, who said on his blog that, "The Angel of the Lord told me in January of 1992 that Hillary Rodham Clinton and I would meet and be running against each other and that she would lose," beat John Cox by getting 43 votes.
Cornelius O’Connor, a complete unknown, got 41 votes.
Vermin Supreme, who wears a boot on his head and ran for reasons of satire, beat John Cox. He got 41 votes.
Cox, who did not receive ANY votes in the Iowa caucus, spent an average of more than $25,000 per vote in New Hampshire.
We are forced by reality to look back on this as a complete failure for the potato chip man from Chicago, who told the Chicago Tribune in December that it was "pointless" to continue running.

Why is these results not surprising?
