Considering the last guy that ran against Kanjorsji lost by about 90% of the vote.

It was quite obvious what Barletta was doing, since he had nothing else going for him for a serious position, he decided to ride "the winning horse" of racism, coming from an area where "people cling to their guns and religious beleifs", well he made a mistake, and lost to the same person for the second time, he should just shut up, lol....
