Felon beats Obama in several West Virginia counties
Politico ^ | May 8, 2012 | Byron Tau

A Texas felon gave President Obama a run for his money in the West Virginia Democratic primary, beating Obama in several counties and winning enough of the vote to be eligible for at least one delegate at the convention, according to the Associated Press.

Perennial candidate Keith Russell Judd, currently serving 210 months in a federal prison, is currently pulling down roughly 40 percent of the vote to Obama's 60 percent.

Judd has caused problems in other elections as well. In 2008, Idaho Democrats were peeved Judd qualified for the ballot, with one Democratic official calling him a "yahoo prisoner in Texas."

It's not the first time that Democratic primary voters have sent a message of disapproval to Obama — the president lost 15 Oklahoma counties to anti-abortion activist Randall Terry in the March primary.

Really, there isn’t a difference. One is an indicted and convicted felon, the other is, so far, unidicted.

21% of Democrats in North Carolina voted against Obama

Another state he carried that he won't again.

I like the fact that this is embarrassing for Obama, but it’s more than that.

The vote for Judd was an attempt to send a message. In the sense that this was a vote about coal, it means that even Democrats know who’s screwing everything up.

It means even Democrats no longer blame Bush. It means the economy is going to be issue number one in the 2012 election, as much as the Obama camp would wish otherwise. It means the polling that says “but he’s still liked personnally” won’t make any difference come November.

I know it’s just West Virginia, but this has to frighten the daylights out of Obama’s string-pullers, and will cost him even more donations, because after this, he can no longer be considered the odds-on favorite by those who write the checks.

For all of the anti-Romney hyperventilators -— If a convict can poll 40% against the Imposter, I am certain that Anyone else can skunk the Imposter.

In the meantime, let's take down every democrap incumbent at the federal, state and local level!!

Yet even on some “conservative” tv shows they have on dem guests and they all talk about that Obama is winning in all the polls, which he isn’t. I observed this on the Lou Dobbs show last night.

Joe Trippi was saying well it’s true everything sucks, but Obama leads in every poll in every battleground state, and leads by 7 overall. Dobbs seemed to go along with this. Saw the same thing on CNN (not surprising there).

I saw Joe Trippi repeat the same lie on Lou Dobbs last night.

Amazing not 1 person called him out on it.

Well, at least folks know what Mr. Judd is guilty of.

Better the criminal you know than the one you don't...

One is in jail repaying his debt to society, while the other is destroying freedom in the USA, and whose administration could not withstand a RICO investigation.
