Why did Phelps do so well in 92? Didn't people know how nutty he is or wasn`t he as nutty yet or was his opponent that damn liberal?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

People probably weren't aware he was that nutty yet. Remember, that's before the internet, and his site is what gained him so much notoriety. Probably wasn't well known outside of Topeka.

As for his opponent being that liberal, remember these are Democrats still, and I doubt even in Kansas your average Democrat would take Phelps over someone like jfern.

I heard he campaigned as a "southern gentleman" and got his votes that way.

Did Alan Keyes win any counties?

Did Alan Keyes win any counties?

He won somewhere around 5. The Republican guy in NY won 2 counties.

Ugh.  I'm sad to see my former county (Johnson County) gave Fred Phelps between 10 and 20 percent.  Then again knowing how many Democrats were out there, he probably only got 1 vote and 6 voted for O'Dell.

Amusingly he did well in the part of Kansas where Eugene Debs did best

Thanks.  Fortunetly I didn't live in Kansas at the time so I can say I didn't contribute to that asshole receiving nearly a third of the votes.
