Angle vote tally impresses blog-o-sphere?

Here’s an interesting, albeit snarky, election factoid. Sharron Angle got fewer votes than Alvin Greene.

Wonkette’s Jack Stuef posted the fact, without commentary, but others, who found humor in an apples-to-oranges comparison of election night results, quickly seized on it.

As Tom Scocca at Slate pointed out “the rambling, enigmatic candidate” ran an invisible campaign and still 358,069 votes. “Sharron Angle, symbol of the most important political movement in the country, had 320,996,” he said.

Harry Reid got more votes than Green, but just barely -- 361,655.

The South Carolina Democratic Party had asked Greene to quit after learning that he faced felony obscenity charges for allegedly showing a pornographic picture on an Internet site to an 18-year-old girl.

At his sparsely attended election night vote watch (video below), Greene was repeatedly asked by reporters if he thought his campaign was a joke.

Angle’s concession speech followed a more conventional route.

Rolling Stone National Affairs blogger Tim Dickinson chalked up the Greene comparison as one of "four more lessons" taken from the mid-term elections.

Dickinson also noted that legalizing marijuana, a referendum loser in California, was more popular than either Meg Whitman or Carly Fiorina.
