I'm sure there were also a few who knowingly cast their vote for him: a combination of his $taunch $upporter$ and those who hold to the "innocent until proven guilty..." notwithstanding that he actually withdrew from the race.

Thus, all of those people simply threw away their votes...they might have just stayed home instead.

I guess the lesson for other would-be candidates is that voters have a short memory, so you have to remind them of...everything.
