CHARLESTON - A man who sits in a federal prison in Beaumont, Texas, was picked by 41 percent of West Virginia Democrats in Tuesday's presidential primary. Poster Comment: He'd make a good running mate for Hillary against Obama.
Judd
At 1 a.m. with 98 percent of the precincts reporting, Keith Judd had received nearly 71,000 votes compared to President Barack Obama's 103,000.
In at least 10 of West Virginia's 55 counties, Judd received more votes than Obama.
Judd, 53, is a perennial candidate. He repeatedly has ran for president as well as for mayor of Albuquerque, N.M., and for governor of New Mexico. He filed to run on the ballot for president in 14 states in 2008, but only appeared on the Idaho ballot, according to Wikipedia.
Judd is in prison after being convicted in 1999 on two counts of "mailing a threatening communication with intent to extort money or something of value" after he made threats at the University of New Mexico. He was sentenced to 210 months in federal prison. He has appealed his conviction dozens of times, but each appeal has been dismissed.
West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Mike Stuart called the results "a remarkable rebuke" to Obama.
"While (U.S. Senator Joe) Manchin and (Gov. Earl Ray) Tomblin waffle to hide their support for the President, nearly 40 percent of West Virginia Democrats said they would prefer a convict in a Texas prison over Barack Obama," Stuart said. "The real shame is that any legitimate Democrat challenger to President Obama would have won and that is the story across the country.
"The Democrats have given this President and his radical far-left agenda a free ride to the nomination for a second term. Keith Judd's performance is embarrassing for Obama and our great state."
Stuart said Obama's lack of support in West Virginia is a result of his stance on coal.
"The people of West Virginia understand that this President has declared war on West Virginia coal and West Virginia jobs," Stuart said. "West Virginians understand that this President must be defeated in November and new Republican solutions put in place to create a stronger, better economy.
"How could any responsible leader in West Virginia support the re-election of a President that is intentionally working to destroy the culture and economy of the very state he or she is supposed to represent. The Democrat Party is completely out of touch with the citizens of this great state. The Republican Party in West Virginia is fighting to build a brighter future for the people of West Virginia and we will deliver results in November."
Meanwhile, Stuart expressed excitement for Republican candidate Mitt Romney's overwhelming victory in West Virginia.
"The voters of our state are conservative, both fiscally and socially, and they will not support the out of control spending and regulation of the Obama Administration even if the West Virginia Democratic establishment continues to stand with him after tonight's embarrassment," Stuart said. "We are looking forward to a huge victory for Mitt Romney in November because West Virginia cannot risk another four years of Barack Obama and his Democratic War on Coal.
"It is still unconscionable to me that the West Virginia Democratic Party, Nick Rahall and Joe Manchin would turn their backs on the people of West Virginia and endorse Barack Obama. The people of our great state deserve better, and we are 100 percent committed to fighting for the conservative values of all of our fellow West Virginians."
The 10 counties that had more voters picking Judd than Obama are Boone, Clay, Gilmer, Hardy, Lincoln, Logan, Mingo, Tucker, Webster and Wyoming.

Untrue. West Virginia is the last bastion of the old Democratic south -- socially conservative and fiscally liberal... essentially New Deal Democrats, just like George Wallace. They kept on electing Robert Byrd (KKK) to the Senate until he died. They also keep electing Jay Rockefeller -- one of the most fiscally liberal Senators. It's a very screwed up place.
Why not? He's a perfect fit for West Virginia and reflects their values 100 percent.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET
