Low-information voters: Unknown truck driver who spent no money on campaign is Mississippi Dem nominee for guv

Marathon Pundit: Low-information voters: Unknown truck driver who spent no money on campaign is Mississippi Dem nominee for guv:
"Truck driver and political neophyte Robert Gray raised and spent no money in his campaign for the Democratic nominee for governor in Mississippi. Gray's electioneering was limited to attending a couple of rallies.
He didn't even vote for himself.
Gray's mother didn't know he was running--although she voted for him--mom thought she was choosing a candidate with the same name as as her son's.
Gray didn't advertise.
He produced no yard signs.
But Gray collected 51 percent of the vote in a three-way race.
Attorney Vicki Slater spent over $200,000 on her effort to win the Democratic Party nomination--some of it was her own money.
This is your 21st century Democratic Party--it is dominated by low-information voters who have no idea what they are voting for when they enter the polling place... "
