Ever contact a busy contractor and ask him to bid a small job?
I wanted my deck refurbished (not even rebuilt; swapping out rails and deck boards - shit I can do but don't want to) and got a bid from a guy for $50K. My wife asked if we should call him to negotiate.
I said "Nope - that's a '**** you bid'. That's him saying "I don't want this job, I have plenty of options around it with better margins. But if you'll pay me this absurd amount then I'll gladly take my crew of a bigger gig to do your piddly ass job with a 500% profit margin..."
It was by no means designed to elicit a counteroffer.
That's what this 'offer' from Clark was. And the voters recognized it. Clark made a '**** you bid' to the voters and the voters wisely gave him the bird right back...
