In case you didn't hear about it, today in Kentucky the Democratic primary was held and the box with "uncommitted" next to it, under Barack Obama's name as the lone option, won 40% of the vote. That's a handful of delegates for a nonexistent entity. "Uncommitted" could have been a plank of wood, a sandwich bag, a packing peanut, a piece of chalk, or any other inanimate object you can think of and 40% of Kentucky voted for it over Barack Obama. Obama was defeated by a nonexistent candidate in 60 Kentucky counties.
This followed the West Virginia primary, in which Barack Obama lost 41% of the primary vote to an incarcerated man in Texas named Keith Judd. Judd is a serial presidential primary runner who has never before seen such success as he has with this run against Barack Obama.
In Oklahoma, Barack Obama lost 18% of the vote to a man named Randall Terry and 14% to a man named Jim Rogers. Never heard of these guys? 32% of Oklahoma thought they were a better option than Barack Obama, even though they obviously don't stand a chance at the national scale.
Arkansas. Widely unknown candidate, John Wolfe, has taken in 33% of the early returns in tonight's Democratic primary.
122.5 miles to go.
