The good news for President Bush is he won the Oklahoma Republican primary last night.

The bad news for President Bush is that a practically unknown Los Angeles T-shirt retailer, Bill Wyatt, won more than 10 percent of the vote.

It could be a sign of disenchantment in the Republican base.

Bill Wyatt took 10% of GOP vote in Oklahoma

Bush received 59,562 votes, not quite 90 percent of those cast. Wyatt pulled a surprising 6,622, slightly more than one of every 10 cast.

Wyatt is running a low-key campaign emphasizing an anti-war position and is protesting Bush's policies toward illegal immigrants.

The strong showing is sure to encourage third-party candidates in the fall. Yesterday, WorldNetDaily reported ousted Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore is not ruling out such a bid.

At a recent speaking engagement, the man who became famous for his defense of a Ten Commandments monument was asked during a question-and-answer session whether he would run for president, reported Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.

"Not right now," Moore said, according to Fund, who noted Moore's friends say he is undecided about whether to run for president or to wait two years and seek Alabama's governorship.

Jessica Atteberry, a spokeswoman for Moore, emphasized to WorldNetDaily Moore is focused on his appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court but indicated he would not rule out a candidacy for the country's highest office.

"Anything is possible," she told WND. "However, until the appeal process has been run through, he'll make no decision for political office."

Fund commented that while third-party campaigns by social conservatives have fizzled in the past, Moore could make a difference in a close race.

He noted last Saturday Moore was a featured speaker at the Christian Coalition's "Family and Freedom" rally in Atlanta. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported he was "treated like a rock star, signing autographs and getting thunderous standing ovations."

One week prior to that event, Moore spoke at a dinner in Lancaster, Pa., sponsored by the Constitution Party, which has the third-largest number of registered voters in the U.S. The party's presidential candidate, Howard Phillips, was on 41 state ballots in 2000.

With its convention scheduled June 22, Moore would have enough time to exhaust his appeal before Alabama courts.
