CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Just how unpopular is President Barack Obama in some parts of the country? Enough that a man in prison in Texas got 4 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. Obama received 59 percent of the vote to Judd’s 41 percent.
For some West Virginia Democrats, simply running against Obama is enough to get Judd votes.
“I voted against Obama,” said Ronnie Brown, a 43-year-old electrician from Cross Lanes who called himself a conservative Democrat. “I don’t like him. He didn‘t carry the state before and I’m not going to let him carry it again.”
When asked which presidential candidate he voted for, Brown said, “That guy out of Texas.”

This proves, all people are not idiots. I would vote for darn near anyone, but Obama.
So much for being a “stupid hillbilly”. West Virginia is my birth state, and when I moved north with my family years ago, that is what I was called, a stupid hillbilly. At least hillbillies have enough sense to vote for anyone other than the disaster/disease in office. Hell, I’d vote for the man in Huntsville myself if given the choice between the two. I’d vote for Bullwinkle too, Micky Mouse, Minnie Mouse, or even Dumbo or Goofy!
