Texas INMATE gets 40 per cent of votes against Obama in West Virginia primary
Inmate Keith Judd got 40% of vote in West Virginia to Obama's 60%
Got on ballot by paying $2,500 fee and filing forms

Just how unpopular is President Obama in some parts of the country? Enough that a man in prison in Texas is getting four out of 10 votes in West Virginia's Democratic presidential primary.

The inmate, Keith Judd, is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999.

With 93 per cent of precincts reporting, Obama was receiving just under 60 per cent of the vote to Judd's 40 per cent.

For some West Virginia Democrats, simply running against Obama is enough to get Judd votes.
'I voted against Obama,' said Ronnie Brown, a 43-year-old electrician from Cross Lanes who called himself a conservative Democrat. 'I don't like him. He didn't carry the state before and I'm not going to let him carry it again.'
When asked which presidential candidate he voted for, Brown said, 'That guy out of Texas.'

Judd was able to get on the state ballot by paying a $2,500 fee and filing a form known as a notarized certification of announcement, said Jake Glance, a spokesman for the Secretary of State's office.
Attracting at least 15 per cent of the vote would normally qualify a candidate for a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.

But state Democratic Party Executive Director Derek Scarbro said no one has filed to be a delegate for Judd.

The state party also believes that Judd has failed to file paperwork required of presidential candidates, but officials continue to research the matter, Scarbro said.

Voters in other conservative states showed their displeasure with Obama in Democratic primaries last March.

In Oklahoma, anti-abortion protestor Randall Terry got 18 per cent of the primary vote. A lawyer from Tennessee, John Wolfe, pulled nearly 18,000 votes in the Louisiana primary.

In Alabama, 18 per cent of Democratic voters chose 'uncommitted' in the primary rather than vote for Obama.

Obama's energy policies and the Environmental Protection Agency's handling of mining-related permits have incurred the wrath of West Virginia's coal industry.
With the state the nation's second-biggest producer of this fossil fuel, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Sen. Joe Manchin -both Democrats have championed the industry - have declined to say whether they will support Obama in November.

Hillary Rodham Clinton beat Obama handily in the state's 2008 primary, and he lost the state to Republican John McCain in the general election.

The latest state-by-state Gallup poll, released in January, found Obama with a 32.7 per cent approval rating in West Virginia.

The president had a lower approval rating only in Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma and Wyoming.

'Keith Judd's performance is embarrassing for Obama and our great state,' outgoing West Virginia GOP Chairman Mike Stuart said.

Presumed Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney won West Virginia's GOP primary Tuesday with more than 69 per cent of the vote, with 93 per cent of precincts reporting. Rick Santorum followed with 12 per cent, while Ron Paul had 11 per cent.

Brown, the Cross Lanes electrician, went to the polls Tuesday with his 22-year-old daughter, Emily. She planned to vote for Judd too until she found out where Judd has been living.

'I'm not voting for somebody who's in prison,' she said.

She was certain about one thing: 'I just want to vote against Barack Obama.'

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney earning 49% of the vote and President Obama attracting 44% support. Four percent (4%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided.

In a three-way race with Ron Paul on the ticket, it’s Romney 44%, Obama 39% and Paul 13%.

Intensity of support or opposition can have an impact on campaigns. Currently, 27% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove, giving him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15

Perhaps Aquacheeka, after O'Bomber gets his Marxist-Leninist butt kicked in the November elections, you could convince him to emigrate to Canada. Canada needs a good screwing up after the sensible administration of Stephen Harper who rescued Canada from a series of Socialist morons.

Just think of it Aquacheeka; O'Bomber could...and would do to Canada what he's already done to the US.

But Aquacheeka, why are you so interested in the United States. Aren't there enough problems in Canada to occupy your time?

If you can't think of any problems in Canada to occupy your time Aquacheeka; perhaps I should...and could compile a list for you to work on.

however polls do not reflect the actual voting trend, anyone can have an opinion or be a critic, but NOT EVERYONE VOTES.

the percentage of the ELIGIBLE voters who voted for reagan in his first "landlside" was LESS THAN 30%. the electoral vote a different story of course...

Since only 53.9 percent of the voting-age population actually voted in 1980 (the lowest percentage since 1948), Ron got a scant 27.3 percent of the eligible vote, which is pretty terrible. Of the 40 elections held since 1824 (popular vote totals prior to that time are unavailable), Ron comes in 34th in percentage of eligible vote received, beating out only Carter, Nixon (in 1968), Truman, Coolidge, Wilson, and John Quincy Adams (who had an unbelievably crappy 8.2 percent in 1824--but more on this anon).

Rasmussen doesn't poll only those who don't like O'Bomber. Rasmussen polls "Likely Voters"....the only people who count in elections. It's those "likely voters"...of all political persuasions who strongly disapprove of Barack Hussein O'Bomber's job performance and increasingly dislike him personally.

You're wrong again katatonic...about whose speech the 1st Amendment protects. Last time I checked, Canada had not been annexed as the 51st state in the United States. Which means Aquacheeka's speech is not protected by the US Constitution and especially when Aquacheeka is "speaking" from Canada.

Perhaps O'Bomber had annexing Canada on his mind when he said he had campaigned in 57 states. Since O'Bomber also campaigned in Germany, France and Britain, that would leave 3 more nations O'Bomber must have had in mind. Hmmmmm, let's see. There's Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras which could be in O'Bomber mind as ripe for annexation.

Some would say it's none of Aquacheeka's business what happens in the US...politically or otherwise.

Aquacheeka's utterly rude suggestion that everyone in West Virginia is "Related" would be sufficient for me to tell Aquacheeka to mind his or her own business....if I wasn't such a nice guy.

But really, if Aquacheeka were really enlightened, wouldn't Aquacheeka be focused on correcting problems in Canada?

Gee, here's a Canadian problem Aquacheeka could expend a little energy on. The slaughter of 400,000 baby Harp Seals each year when Canadian fishermen club them to death!

Now we have a deficit that Harper says we will "revisit" in 2014.

Austerity, gotta love it!

(Note: Austerity is never really "austerity". It's "let's only spend on military http://saskboy.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/f-35-lies-by-harper-and-mackay/ and prisons!" http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/10/17/pol-vp-milewski-texas-crime.html

Furthermore, I didn't invent the t-shirt; it was a bestseller from Abercrombie & Fitch. What, can't the 'cons take a joke?

It's your reckless disregard for reality which is offensive...that and your assumptions that you know what's going on in the United States; which remains none of your business.

I don't give a rat's ass who produced that offensive tee shirt. You're the one who posted it here...assuming that people in West Virginia fit your idiotic stereotype of marrying within family.

Since you don't know me, you're making another assumption that I don't travel...much!

we all know, jwhop, that you think the rest of the world is just about worthy of being america's ashtray, but guess what? 6.5+ billion people don't happen to agree with you. they're not telling you what you can and can't think, they just want you out of their faces/spaces...

perhaps canada doesn't have enough problems to keep an intelligent girl busy?

unfortunately too true.
austerity measures around the globe have been disastrous. Why certain factions insist on using failed techniques is obvious. This satisfies the 'owners' and resultant increases of monies in short term coffers.

Failures have been presented to the U.S. on a platter.
what not to do.

Austerity is one of them.

You're absolutely right, Node. Here is a list of the 10 poorest states in the US: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/15/americas-poorest-states-_n_964058.html.

Notice anything interesting about them?

How many of these are NOT red states?

after YEARS of saying that extra spending was the PROBLEM, you have just described it as NECESSARY in the current economy.

that's the trouble with guns, one can quite easily shoot oneself in the foot!

I didn't say higher spending. I said "higher spending costs".

I'm sure that in keeping with the title of this thread we can all feel the charm oozing out of O'Bomber...and his illegal alien relatives who are ripping off America, violating our immigration laws and civil laws too.

I know I'm charmed by it all.

Don’t cry for Auntie Zeituni
By Howie Carr
Friday, May 11, 2012
Boston Herald Columnist

Auntie Zeituni has written a book. It’s called “Tears of Abuse,” on account of how tough she’s had it.

Have I read it? Of course not. Have you read her nephew’s best-seller — Dreams from My Ghostwriter, I mean Father? No one has — it’s sold millions of copies, but until two weeks ago, not a single reader got far enough into it to learn that Obama was a dog-eater with “composite” girlfriends.

Anyway, I have the press release on “Tears of Abuse,” which describes Auntie Zeituni’s journey to the United States “where she faces the unthinkable; failing health and quarantined in a hospital while on vacation in a foreign country.”

Vacation? Surely she meant to say “welfare.”

“As her story unfolds she becomes a resident of (a) homeless shelter and a subject of deportation.”

How dare they! Just because she’s an illegal alien, they want to deport her.

Have they forgotten the immortal words of Marsha Coakley: “Technically it is not illegal to be illegal in Massachusetts.”

And if you don’t believe Marsha, just ask Uncle Omar, Auntie Zeituni’s brother, or half-brother, or whatever. Technically, it is also apparently not illegal to be driving drunk illegally in Massachusetts, at least if you’re an illegal alien.

Auntie Zeituni was victimized in Kenya but, believe it or not, “she was later victimized in the U.S.”

Talk about victimization — do you realize, you actually have to go down to the welfare office to apply for the dole? The welfare office doesn’t make house calls. Not yet anyway. Her nephew hasn’t been re-elected.

But Auntie Zeituni’s story has a happy ending.

“ ‘Tears of Abuse’ reveals how this remarkable woman turns the unfathomable into triumph.”

Public housing, on the dole — what else would you call it but a triumph? The inscription at the base of the Statue of Liberty needs to be rewritten. Forget the huddled masses yearning to “breathe free.” Now the huddled masses demand to “live free.”

Speaking of “the homeless, tempest-tost,” Uncle Omar gets his driver’s license back today. I hope nobody at the registry is even thinking of slapping that $100 license-restoration fee on this proud Kenyan illegal alien assistant manager of Conti’s Liquors in Framingham. That restoration fee is for U.S. citizens only.

And as for you, Auntie Zeituni, I have a tip for you, one author to another. Always seek out your core audience. The state Democratic convention is coming up June 2 in Springfield — thousands of guilt-ridden, trust-funded moonbats, all in one place.
