Federal Prisoner gets 41% of the vote vs Obama in WV. LOl!!!!!

[240 is Back]

Not just talking about Hawaii.  I've been all over the country and beyond.  Was in Florida a few weeks ago and talked to some Obama-bots.  They're everywhere.  He couldn't be hated by most people and still poll at around 45-47 percent.  That's a pretty big number.   

33 has already decided obama will lose by 80 points.   Obama will carry 6 states.

I think 33 is right about Obama losing.  Who cares about the margin?

I think 33 is right about Obama losing.  Who cares about the margin? 

I don't think so because Romney is not going to fair well in the South.  Even with everything said and done, I don't see Obama losing the election because the economy is not as bad as it was 4 years ago....its not great but a died up turd is better than a steaming pile of shit.


Ultimately, the Electoral College is going to kill Romney unless he makes up some serious ground in places like New Jersey, Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina.

Voters Say We Are All Inmate No. 11593-051 Now
 IBD Editorials ^ | May 10, 2012



Tuesday's Results: The Tea Party shows it's alive and well, Wisconsin's embattled governor gets more votes than the top two Democrats and a federal inmate gives the president a primary battle. The natives are still restless.

Conservative pundit and IBD contributor Ann Coulter once said she, like many Americans, would rather vote for Jeffrey Dahmer, known for his unusual culinary choices, over President Obama. Federal prisoner Keith Russell Judd, 49, is not quite in Dahmer's league, but for a substantial portion of West Virginia Democrats, he is also preferable to our campaigner-in-chief.

Judd is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas, for extortion and making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. He got on the West Virginia state ballot by paying a $2,500 fee and filing a form.

Democratic alibis for Obama's embarrassment have begun to sprout, including the expected one that Judd's vote consisted of bitter townsfolk clinging to their Bibles and guns, and fearful of others not like them. His defenders can't accept the fact that the president's policies and abysmal economic record, which include his war on West Virginia's coal industry, had anything to do with it.

Obama's energy policies and the Environmental Protection Agency's handling of mining-related permits have angered West Virginia's coal industry. With the state being the nation's second-largest producer of this fossil fuel, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Sen. Joe Manchin — both Democrats who have championed the industry — have declined to say if they'll support President Obama in November.

Obama loses more than 40 percent of Kentucky primary voters to ‘uncommitted’ option
The Washington Post ^ | 05/22/12 | Aaron Blake

President Obama lost more than 40 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s Kentucky Democratic primary to the “uncommitted” option — the latest example of the incumbent president failing to win votes in an uncompetitive primary.

With 99 percent of precincts reporting in the Bluegrass State, Obama led “uncommitted” just 58 percent to 42 percent. Obama trailed in more than 60 Kentucky counties.

It was just the latest episode of the president taking less than 60 percent of the vote in a primary this year.

He ceded 41 percent of the vote in West Virginia to an incarcerated man in Texas named Keith Judd, and in Oklahoma, Obama lost several counties and won just 57 percent of the vote.

Kentucky’s vote was notable, though, for the fact that there weren’t even any other candidates on the ballot. The most the “uncommitted” option won so far this primary season was previously 21 percent in the North Carolina primary earlier this month. Kentucky looks as though it will double that number.

Obama Campaign Spending Money, Resources in Arkansas
5:00 PM, MAY 22, 2012    • BY MICHAEL WARRENSingle PagePrintLarger TextSmaller TextAlerts       
If Barack Obama experiences an upset in Arkansas’s Democratic primary today, it won’t be for lack of trying. The Obama campaign and the Democratic party have spent significant resources in Arkansas, while an unknown primary challenger has threatened the president's ability to win the support of the state's Democrats.


In March, the Obama camp opened an office in North Little Rock, which earned a visit from national campaign manager Jim Messina. During the opening, Messina reminded the small gathering of Obama’s 2004 Democratic National Convention speech.

“Remember that speech? When he said there’s not a red America, there’s not a blue America, there’s a United States of America,” Messina said. “That’s the kind of campaign we’re running here. It is why we’re in Arkansas, Montana, Oregon, and every state in this country, because we’re running a campaign that is based on the grassroots."

Messina continued: “So I came all the way [from] Chicago to say one thing and one thing only: Thank you. Thank you for what you’re doing, thank you for what you’re going to do, and thank you for spending every single night in this office helping elect Barack Obama.”

Candace Martin, the communications director for the Arkansas Democratic party, says the Obama campaign has been working in the state. “A lot of their efforts have focused on fundraising and voter registration,” Martin says.

Tim Miller, the deputy communications director at the Republican National Committee, says the Obama campaign appears to be taking Arkansas seriously. "The President sent his national campaign manager to Bill Clinton's home state investing valuable time and resources in a place that won't be receptive to his record of bigger government, higher gas prices, and fewer jobs,” says Miller in an email.

The Democratic establishment also seems to be taking seriously Obama’s primary challenger in Arkansas, John Wolfe Jr. The state party, under the direction of the national party, has already suggested that it will deny Wolfe any national delegates he might win in the primary, claiming he did not file any of the correct paperwork to do so. “The facts are pretty clear on this,” said Martin. Wolfe himself has said the party is trying to “disenfranchise” Arkansas Democrats who vote against Obama.

4 in 10 Democrats desert Obama in Arkansas, Kentucky (vote 'present')

4 in 10 Democrats desert Obama in Arkansas, Kentucky
By Josh Lederman and Emily Goodin - 05/22/12 09:12 PM ET

Four in ten Democratic voters chose someone other than President Obama on Tuesday in primaries in Arkansas and Kentucky.

In Arkansas, John Wolfe — a perennial, long-shot candidate — took 41 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary, with 71 percent of precincts reporting. Obama came in just under 60 percent. The Associated Press did not call the race for Obama until close to midnight.

And in Kentucky, 42 percent of Democrats chose "uncommitted" rather than cast a vote for the incumbent president. Obama took 58 percent, with 99 percent of precincts reporting.

With turnout low, Romney did get more total votes than presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who won his primary with almost 67 percent of the vote. Obama had more than 118,600 votes to about 117,100 for Romney.

Obama's nomination for a second term by the Democratic Party has never been in danger. But the large number of defections is bad optics for Obama, highlighting widespread discontent with his administration among Democrats who come from conservative states.

A felon incarcerated in Texas took 41 percent of the vote from the president when Democrats in West Virginia cast ballots in the primary earlier in May.

The results in both Kentucky and Arkansas were not unexpected; both are solid red states. In 2008, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won Kentucky with 58 percent and Arkansas with 59 percent.
