With 74 percent reporting in West Virginia, Obama leads Judd 60/40. Inmate #11593-051 may end up winning a delegate.

 

[busybody..]

Update: You ready for this? Joe Manchin refuses to say whether he voted for Obama in the Democratic primary in West Virginia.

Judd's got at least one thing going right for him.

In WV, Many Dems Vote for Convict Over Obama


By Katrina Trinko





You can’t make this up: with 83 percent of precinct results in, 40 percent of West Virginia Democrats voted for Keith Judd, a Texas prisoner on the ballot.

If there was ever a state that was the last holdout for the blue dogs, it’s West Virginia. Democratic senator Joe Manchin only eked out a victory after running an ad that showed him shooting a copy of Obama’s cap-and-trade bill. And now Manchin refuses to say whether he’ll vote for Obama or not

 

[1fromawoodpile]

Make it two things...

 

[busybody..]

He doesnt have a FAT ASSED ANTI AMERICAN DISBARED UGLY WIFE?

 

[1fromawoodpile]

Yet another reason for wise folk in coal country to have voted Judd.

No! Obama doesn't look that way due to a shift in the mine.

 

[busybody..]

PRESIDENT OBAMA EMBARRASSED BY INMATE NO. 11593-051.

Will Obama DEBATE his opponent?

OR DUCK DEBATES?

http://thisistwitchy.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/obama-inmate.jpg?w=430In what is obviously the most hilariously awesome story of the night President Obama has been completely and utterly embarrassed by a federal inmate, Keith Judd, in the West Virginia Democratic presidential primary. Apparently a lot of Democrats prefer a crazy criminal to their party’s sitting President. Yea.

Also, this is what Judd looks like:

Well I guess Obama will not have to run ads or visit WV...

That is pretty funny.

 

[1fromawoodpile]

He can stay out of about 30 states, no problem.

 

[busybody..]

Well of course

Everyone and everything is RACIST

West Virginia Dems Accuse Their Own of Racism To Explain Prison Inmate’s Strong Showing Against Obama In Democratic Primary…




Or as Obama calls them, “bitter clingers.”

Via BuzzFeed:


An obscure federal prison inmate gave President Obama an unexpected run for his money in the West Virginia Democratic Primary Tuesday, highlighting the deep dislike for the president in the Appalachian heartland.

With 96% of the precincts reporting Tuesday night, Keith Judd was holding steady at 41% of the vote and had won ten counties.

Judd is also known as federal prison inmate Number 11593-051 at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Beaumont, Texas, where Judd is serving a 210-month sentence for extortion and making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999.

According to both state and national Democratic Party rules, Keith Russell Judd is entitled to receive at least one delegate from West Virginia for the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. because he received 15% of the vote. [...]

Democrats in the state attributed Obama’s problems to his race, and sought to counter that with an unusually blunt campaign message in October, seeking — unsuccessfully — to convince white Democrats to vote for the African-American candidate. Primary exit polls found that 20% of white voters in West Virginia cited race as a factor in their overwhelming support for Hillary Clinton, the most in any state.

President Obama was expected to win the West Virginia primary, but not to be WITHIN 20 points TO A CONVICTED FELON SITTING IN FEDERAL PRISON IN ANOTHER STATE. By the way, wonder why Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin says he’s not sure who he’ll vote for this fall in the presidential election? This is why -- and why West Virginia will continue to be the butt of jokes by coastal elites.

The truth is that most felons have more integrity than most politicians. Scary thought, but true.

How the felon won



By CHARLES MAHTESIAN |

So how did a felon incarcerated in a Texas prison manage to win 41 percent of the Democratic primary vote against the president of the United States?

For starters, Keith Judd was either clever or lucky enough to have filed for the ballot in the heart of Appalachia’s anti-Obama belt.

West Virginia's county-by-county numbers tell an interesting story: Judd defeated the incumbent president in 9 counties across the state, and held him under 60 percent in 30 of West Virginia’s 55 counties.



Whatever other forces may be at work in the Appalachian opposition to Obama -- the role of race has been debated since his 2008 run -- it's clear the administration's energy policies played a big role in the president's lackluster performance.

Locally, it's referred to as "the war on coal."

Looking at the map, Judd's strongest support came from southern West Virginia’s coal country, close by the Kentucky border.

The five coal counties that voted against Obama Tuesday also voted for Hillary Clinton by landslide margins in the 2008 primary.

That cluster includes the place that might be described as the epicenter of the Obama resistance: Mingo County.

Known as “Bloody Mingo” for its storied history of labor unrest and bloodshed surrounding the coal mining industry – the acclaimed John Sayles movie “Matewan” was based on events there in 1920 – the county disliked Obama even before he was elected president.

Clinton defeated him in there 88 percent to 8 percent, one of Obama’s worst primary drubbings in the nation in 2008. This time around, Mingo delivered what is certainly the president’s worst county-level defeat in 2012 – the inmate defeated the incumbent 60 percent to 40 percent.

It's worth noting that another place with a coal mining heritage lashed out at Obama earlier this year -- Oklahoma's aptly-named Coal County, where the president actually finished in 3rd place, behind perennial candidate Jim Rogers and anti-abortion activist Randall Terry.

CLARIFICATION: Magoffin County, Kentucky -- also in Appalachia -- delivered an even worse result for Obama in 2008 than Mingo. Clinton defeated Obama there 93 percent to 5 percent. This item was updated at 2:31 PM.

I wonder how Obama's gutsy announcement on same sex marriage affected the outcome?

 

[pierrelarue161]

Soros has pledged $100 million to buy the election for Obummer.

Talk about criminals. Is anyone still unaware that Soros is a fugitive from French authorities?

I say we should extradite the bastard already.
