well, technically we didn't. That's not to say he didn't get votes, but mainly what happened is that the far religous right turnned out in droves and voted from him, he got some people in the middle to vote for him and over half of the people who are of voting age didn't bother to vote at all. When you have a fanatical base like he does all you need to do is convice a few of people that lean more to the center and hope for low voter turnout. It's the recipe for success for the republicans and they know it so they work it.
