A guy serving a term in prison, Keith Judd, in Texas won 40% of West Virginians&#8217; votes in yesterday&#8217;s Democrat primary according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2141657\/Texas-INMATE-gets-40-cent-votes-Obama-West-Virginia-primary.html\">UK&#8217;s Daily Mail<\/a>; <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Judd is housed at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Texarkana, a low-security facility for male prisoners. It is located in northeast Texas near the Arkansas border, 175 miles east of Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>Attracting at least 15 per cent of the vote would normally qualify a candidate for a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.<\/p>\n<p>But state Democratic Party Executive Director Derek Scarbro said no one has filed to be a delegate for Judd.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, I know, it&#8217;s West Virginia and it&#8217;s not an indicator of a national trend. My neighbors are generally dumber than a post (they think I reverse-engineer alien technology for our missile program), but they&#8217;re also scared that someone is going to come for their guns. My weapons training class last year was like an Obama hate fest. We&#8217;re only five electoral votes, but I&#8217;m pretty confident that they&#8217;ll all go to Romney.<\/p>\n<p>But I might be voting for a Democrat for the first time since Jimmy Carter for a national office. I&#8217;m pretty happy with Joe Manchin, somewhat. He introduced the National CCW bill to the Senate which probably has about as much chance as me running for Manchin&#8217;s seat.
