Republican candidate is convinced his opponent is dead and using a body double as a stand-in

Rep. Frank Lucas, Oklahoma

KFOR in Oklahoma reports that Timothy Ray Murray believes Rep. Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), his opponent in the congressional Republican primary, was executed three years ago and is being represented by a look-alike. Because he believes Lucas is really dead, Murray said he will challenge the results of Tuesday's Republican primary, in which Murray received 5.2 percent of the vote. Lucas won the primary with 82.8 percent of the vote.
Timothy Ray Murray is not only convinced his opponent is a body double (or, as he stated elsewhere, a "robot look-alike"), he also feels the need to clarify to the public that he, Murray, is NOT a body double:
In the statement, Murray, who did not respond to an interview request, also reassured voters that he is not a body-double.
"I, Timothy Ray Murray, am a human, born in Oklahoma, and obtained and continue to fully meet the requirements to serve as U.S. Representative when honored to so. I will never use a look alike to replace my (The Office’s) message to you or to anyone else, as both the other Republican Challengers have," he said.

just when you wondered when the next weirdest thing coming from the right wing was coming and how off the hook it will be, we get rewarded with this guy.  he obviously either believes this or thinks his voters are stupid enough to.  what's next is he going to walk around pointing at this guy and screaming you know like in the movie "The Body Snatchers" or did he see the movie the night before his crank remark and had a day mare?  from "im not a witch" to "I'm not a doppelganger"?  they must have great Halloween parties.
