NC outlaws gay, and heterosexual civil unions.
Richard Lugar loses Senate seat. This is big news.
I have not seen the tally, but Romney still does not have enough delegates to wrap up the nomination.
Santoruim and Gingrich are clinging to their delegates despite claiming to support Romney.
Looks like Romney can't even muster 70% in WV, NC and Indiana despite running virtually unopposed.
Tom Barrett will face Scott Walker June 5th. Perhaps BigStacks or another strutter knows about Barrett.

    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.

    Please explain: is this more about a contrarian electorate refusing to be hectored towards liberalism, or do they really and truly believe totally in a doctrine rooted two millennia ago?

    Not that big of deal, there is a good chance 40% of the W Virginia population is related to that inmate.

    This has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with hatred.

    Or just plain old politics....the same reason Obama won't come out in favor of Gay Marriage.

    Nice.
    NC is important to Obama's reelection. Did he just jeopardize NC?

    Welcome.
