No way. You can jimmy the stats all you want, but Springer simply is not credible. I say again, based on his overall record, no thoughtful conservative could possibly stay home in a race with Voino vs. Springer.

Credibility has nothing to do with it - check the demographics for the state.

Lowest college graduate rate out of 48 states
Heavy union labor force
Strong Democratic Party
Agricultural (pork barrel Farm Bill)
Etc.

Put up another Democrat with name-recognition then. Same result. Kucinich?
