I guess Clay didn't want to come in second place again... :eek:

They've been battling it out here and the race still hadn't been called (as of today) because both had roughly 40% of the vote, and 41% is needed or a runoff is held.

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Keith Crisco - who was battling former American Idol runner up Clay Aiken for the Democratic nomination in North Carolina's Second Congressional District - died suddenly at his home in Asheboro Monday.

The news was confirmed by an employee of a company owned by Crisco.

According to published reports, Crisco suffered a fall at his home. Further details were not available.

Crisco was trailing Aiken by just a few hundred votes in the primary, and was reportedly waiting for final numbers before deciding if he would ask for a recount. The winner of the primary takes on incumbent Renee Ellmers this fall.
Crisco was born and raised in North Carolina. He graduated from Pfeiffer University with a BA in mathematics and physics and received a master of business administration from Harvard University.

In 1970 and 71, he served as a White House fellow with a position of Assistant to the US Secretary of Commerce. In 1978, Crisco became the president of Stedman Elastics in Asheboro. He has served on the Asheboro City Council.

In 2009, he was appointed as Secretary of Commerce for North Carolina and served until 2013. Crisco was also a member of the University of North Carolina School of Public Health Advisory Council.

He also served as board chair for Bennett College and the North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research.

The NWO was behind it giving orders to the trilateral commission at the UN, who told the international dog catchers union to make it look like an accident by bribing a member of the carpenter's union to loosen a board so he would trip.

Or at least that is what Alex Jones had to say about it.

He served at the White House? Guess who was also at the White House? The Clintons.
Add one more to their body count.
When will it end?

The NWO? Was Kevin Nash and Scott Hall ready to tag team him if he didn't cooperate?

You forgot to mention that it was the Illuminati who told the NWO to do something about it.

You know who else had a body count? Hitler. Therefore the Clintons are Hitler. Or maybe Aiken is gay Hitler. Wait, Hitler is dead and Crisco is dead, so obviously Crisco is Hitler.

Sorry, it's that kind of thread.

Clay was ahead but he could lose to a dead man.

Only 369 votes apart.

=================================================

At the time of his death, the race was still too close to call. Aiken was leading Crisco by just 369 votes and on Tuesday the votes are scheduled to be officially certified.

Joshua Lawson, spokesman for the state Board of Elections, said that the vote certification process in North Carolina does not change because of Crisco’s death since it is prescribed by statute.

The vote certification process will continue as scheduled on Tuesday and if the absentee ballots or voting errors put Crisco ahead of Aiken then the district executive committee of the Democratic Party would choose the nominee.

Ronald Reagan running for president? :eek:
It works both ways.

Besides, CNN reported that Crisco had planned to concede to Clay Aiken tomorrow.
With 100% of the vote now counted.
Crisco should have known going up against an American Idol was a slippery slope. :whiste:

PS. Or we can just blame Hillary. The "in" thing to do.

I'm a bit out of touch again. I thought Aiken was the "legitimate rape" guy. I guess that was Akin.

No, Aiken isn't a republican so he's fairly sane.
He just looks like a republican.
Fat, gross, clueless.
I suppose a lot of republicans will get confused over that and vote for him....
