There was the 1990 Mass. gubernatorial race of William Weld vs. John Silber. In today's terms that would be Linc Chafee vs. Zell Miller. I would definately have voted for Weld. And I did vote for whatever Repub was running against Marion Barry in DC and whatever Repub was going up against Buddy Cianci in Providence (friendly guy - first stint in office every single one of his close aids went down on racketeering charges, he himself pled guilty to beating his wife's lover with a poker and putting cigarettes out on his face while a mobbed up cop held him down, after getting out he won reelection with the campaign slogan "I want to make love to the city of Providence") I don't think that the cemetery vote was decisive. He recently went back to jail on racketeering. A friend of a friend had his restaurant torched after he refused to comp the mayor and his buddies for a champagne fuelled bash.
