So last night's elections may have been the most entertaining we'll get until November.
In West Virginia: - Drudge is pimping that Obama trounced his primary opponent 60-40%. The only catch is, his opponent is Keith Judd, a prison inmate in Texas. He may end up actually getting some delegates.
- WV Democrat senator Joe Manchin won't say who he voted for. LOL. (Manchin was elected in 2010 and faces re-election this year)
In Wisconsin: - The Big Labor candidate (Falk) lost to the "mainstream" candidate (Barrett) 58-34%. Barrett didn't mention collective bargaining once in his victory speech.
- Scott Walker got more votes (626K) than both Democrat candidates combined (619K)
- Note: the recall election got forced due to 900K signatures. Where did those (alleged) voters go?
In North Carolina: - Voters overwhelmingly voted to ban gay marriage in the state consitution, 61-39%.
- 21% of Democrat primary voters voted "no preference" instead of Obama (who won the state in 2008 by 0.3%)
Optimism.
