Read more: Texas INMATE gets 40 per cent of votes against Obama in West Virginia primary | Mail Online

Cliff's Notes Version:
  • Prisoner Keith Judd got 40% of vote in West Virginia to Obama's 60%
  • Inmate 11593-051 got on ballot by paying $2,500 fee and filing forms
  • Attracting 15% of vote normally qualifies candidate for a delegate to the Democratic National Convention

Yes I saw that on the news channel out of Huntington,W.V. Obama is not very popular with Appalachians right now....I wanted to post this myself with a link after seeing it on the news but was laughing too hard...

where does Judd get this money? Judd was convicted and sentenced to 17 years in federal prison for threatening University of New Mexico on the phone, he provides piano lessons to other inmates in prison and he's been running for office since the 90's...I imagine their having a celebration in the prison today. It's just nuts though, he has 5 years left to serve...what if he got elected president? would he pardon himself?

It says a lot about Obama's energy policies, particularly w/ regard to coal. Obama got hammered in 5 coal-producing counties in the SW part of the state. He also not only lost, but finished in third place in the Dem primary in Coal County, Oklahoma, another coal-producing region.

Now that's a good brain yah got there..."would he pardon himself"?- that sounds like a stand up comedy routine. I guess once this guy gets out and runs there will be no laws against convicts being president. After all as they say- "There are only the convicted and yet to be convicted"..anyway this is very odd...does that actually mean that some guy in a jail cell got 40 per cent of the popular vote?
