Virginia is For Haterz

The Pride of Virginia

Uh Oh! It turns out the next President of the United States will be neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney! It's Keith Judd! At least, in West Virginia.

Barack Obama was not the only Democrat on the ballot on Tuesday in West Virginia's Democratic Presidential Primary. Keith Judd - also known as Inmate No. 11593-051 at the Federal Correctional Institution in Texarkana, Texas - was running against him.

Judd, who is serving out a 17.5 year sentence for extortion, currently has received 40 percent of the vote, with 83 percent of precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press. Obama currently has received 60 percent of the vote.

Obama's lack of popularity in West Virginia has been well-documented. The state's governor Earl Ray Tomblin and it's junior senator Joe Manchin, both Democrats, have kept their distance from the president.

Okay sure, Barack still won the primary by 20 points but once people realize that there is a choice - between a Harvard Law School graduate and a white felon, well game over. What about the other white guy? A potential VP pick from Virginia says Obama has the edge over him. And let's face it, who is the guy you can imagine having a beer with? Judd.
