Hey West Virginia, you’ll get yours my pretty, and your little federal inmate too

Oh man, has there ever been a bigger LMAO than this?

Obama Loses West Virginia Delegates To Prison Inmate

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.

Judd ran particularly strong in West Virginia’s coal country, carrying the labor stronghold of Mingo County, among others.

The RNC has a research page devoted to Obama’s challenger, Federal Inmate No. 11593-051.

And take note of this:

Obama already had it out for West Virginia.

Just you wait.

Update:  DrewM at Ace of Spades HQ has a pertinent observation:

Democrats are pretty mad about two states today, North Carolina over Amendment One and West Virginia over the felon vote. Keep in mind a few facts: Both states have Democratic governors, 3 or their 4 Senators are Democrats, Obama won North Carolina and picked that state to host his renomination convention.Damn Rightwing nutters!
