Meet Federal Inmate No. 11593-051, Keith Judd. He is currently serving close to an eighteen year sentence for extortion in the state of Texas. For reasons unknown this man threw his name in the hat for the West Virginia primary yesterday and actually walked away with...I mean paced around his jail cell with 41% of the vote as a close second to President Barack Obama.
Judd managed to win ten counties and 41% of the statewide vote. He even earned himself a delegate at the Democratic National Convention.
With a $2,500.00 filing fee and a notarized "certificate of announcement" to appear on the ballot, Keith Judd won a huge victory yesterday and handed Barack Obama what has to be one of the most humiliating insults in presidential history.
An incarcerated criminal or Barack Obama? Forty-one percent of West Virginians teemed to their local precincts to make the simple statement that they would rather vote for a convicted criminal who is behind bars to be their president than Barack Obama and the record of his past four years.
I congratulate Mr. Judd for his impressive campaign, but I think Barack Obama deserves even more of a spotlight for a presidential term that could drive so many individuals in an entire state to despise him so much that they would vote for Federal Inmate No. 11593-051 over him.
167.1 miles to go.
