I can hardly believe this is not a joke.
This is a Democrat primary.
Obama lost in some counties to a federal inmate.
He gave up 40 percent of the dem vote.

A federal inmate who is running for president won 42 percent of the vote in West Virginiaâs Democratic primary yesterday. According to the Associated Press, Keith Judd is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999.
Nearly 52,000 West Virginia voters cast their ballots for Judd. It seems pretty obvious that many of them had never heard of him and simply checked the box for âthe other guy who is not Barack Obamaâ when they went to the polling booth. With 70,348 voters, Obama won the primary with 57 percent.

Obama has little chance of winning West Virginia anyway, but it certainly doesnât bode well for him that 40 percent of registered Democrats would rather vote for a complete unknown than not vote at all. In 2008, when Republican voters were disillusioned with McCain, many simply didnât vote. Looks like Democratic voters disappointed by Obama are willing to take their grievances to the polls.
