or what normal people call "fifth place"

From Sen. Joe Lieberman's speech in New Hampshire Tuesday night:

Thank you. Let me ask you this: is New Hampshire a great state or what? You bet it is.

Based on the returns that we’ve seen tonight, thanks to the people of New Hampshire, we are in a three way split decision for third place.

Now you and I both know that the national pundits didn’t expect this, did they? As a matter of fact this morning, the national newspapers put four of the candidates on their front page -- but not me.

But today, the people of New Hampshire put me in the ring, and that’s where we’re going to stay.

Imagine what will happen if he finishes fourth next week.
