#1. He's the incumbent Lieutenant Governor. #2. North Carolina elected Jesse Helms to the US Senate no fewer than FIVE times. The attitude of "elect this candidate because "own the libs"/"drive liberals crazy"" is well embedded into the Tar Heel State. Especially in rural parts.

And yeah, the unbounded cray-cray of the NCGOP primary electorate knows few bounds. The Superintendent of Education nominee is somehow even crazier than Robinson.
