Is Obama going to lose the Arkansas Democratic primary? (Operation Razorback Chaos)
Hot Air ^ | MAY 17, 2012 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Via Jorge Bonilla in the Greenroom, who sounds the call for “Operation Razorback Chaos.” Two words, my friends: Open primary.

It’s magic time.

In West Virginia, federal inmate Keith Judd recently swiped 42 percent of Democratic votes from the president, indicating the level of dissatisfaction among the rank and file. And according to a Talk Business–Hendrix College poll conducted on May 10, Obama leads John Wolfe, a virtually unknown candidate, in Arkansas’s 4th congressional district by only 7 points, 45–38.

Three weeks earlier, the Talk Business–Hendrix College poll showed the president leading by 65–24 in the slightly less conservative 1st district, but that was before Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage.

Wolfe, an attorney from Tennessee, tells NRO the new poll numbers indicate Democrats’ discontent with their standard-bearer. “He doesn’t understand them,” he says. “I think it’s more manifest in the health-care area. I think they would like something different.” For his part, Wolfe promises to repeal Obamacare.

Wolfe opposes gay marriage so he’s primed to benefit by drawing a contrast with O’s recent “evolution.” On the other hand, he’s, er, not running any ads so I’m not sure how he’d do that. No matter, though: No one’s voting for Wolfe, only against Obama, so if the backlash is real then this race just got tighter. In fact, Arkansas Democrats are sufficiently worried that they announced today that Wolfe won’t be awarded delegates no matter how well he does because he hasn’t filed all the necessary paperwork. How happy do you think they were to have to issue that just-in-case statement?

Actually, the best part of this story is the location. Team Mitt’s going to have a lot of fun if The One faces a close call on Bill Clinton’s home turf:

Seeking to attract Democrats and independents who supported the last Democratic president, Romney has taken to lavishing praise at every turn on Clinton’s boom-era ’90s policies while contrasting them unfavorably with President Barack Obama’s old-school, Big Government ways.

The tactic is designed to drive a wedge between the group of Democrats who supported Obama during the epic 2008 primary battle between Obama and Hillary Clinton: the white, working-class voters who hold the key to many swing states, like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

It’s also a simple way for Romneyland to poke a stick in the eye of Team Obama, using one of its most prominent surrogates but a man who has had a complicated personal history with Obama…

“It’s useful to point out what people already believe about Obama,” Romney strategist Stuart Stevens told POLITICO. “That he’s an old-school liberal who is to the left of the country and relying on old, failed solutions.”

Here’s the man himself, who I’m now calling “President Wolfe,” hitting O from the left on banking.

It would be fun to not have Obozo have all the delegates at the DNC convention. Would the media report it?

They would try to spin it, of course, and pretend it didn’t really matter. (But the prickly Narcissist would know what happened).

Some Democrats have the chance and opportunity to save America by voting against America hater and destroyer, Barack Hussein Obama in the Arkansas Democrat Primary and outright causing his defeat. Do it!!!

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the dims put other inmates on the ballots like West Virginia?

Imagine multiple states where the dimrats pick convicted criminals over the yet to be convicted one.

As a registered Independent in CA, I get the opportunity to vote on the DEM presidential primary. I fully intend to write in Mr. Keith Judd. If I had his inmate number, I’d include that also.

If Wolfe instead of Judd had been the "not Obama" vote in WV, maybe he would have carried the state.

Arkansas voted for George Wallace in 1968 and later elected Bill Clinton as governor. The Obama campaign in 2008 exposed the fact that Clinton is a racist (a fact the media kept hidden during his presidency). So if Arkansas fails to vote for Obama in the primary there is an easy explanation--racism.

Nope.
They’re going to disqualify his opponent and deny him any delegates, no matter what the outcome.

Have they been taking lessons from the GOP?

Why are you so obsessed with this? You've been running around on every thread, opposing it at every step...

(Are you secretly rooting for somebody...?)

No. I’m just a bit tired and worn out from the silly optimism. Its not like I don’t want to see Obama gone, but this Administration is like some sort of horror movie.

There are not going to be any “magic bullets” that defeat Obama (though Lord knows there should be!). No Primary challenge, no biography stating he was born in Kenya, no counterfeit (or even real) CoLB, no Arizona Secretary of State (brave man!), no scandal at the DoJ, nothing, is going magically take him down. Any one of those SHOULD, but they won’t (any one of them sure as heck would have crippled or destroyed any Republican Administration).

People need stop looking for magic bullets and gear up for a heck of an election season. Maybe figure out something they can do for the campaign, if they can stomach doing it for Romney...

horror for them; hope for Americans mired in O'Bamaism,
if the conservatives can keep Myth from adopting O'Bozo goals.

Well, you’ll have to ask them, but I sure hope so.
