Final tally in Kentucky:
Obama: 57.9%
Uncommitted: 42.1%

....sheesh, who knew there were so many racists in the Democratic party? Wink


Edited to add that w/ 8.4% of precincts reporting in Arkansas, Obama's ahead 61-39%.
Let's see how Bandit tries to spin this...Obama is apparently going to be competing in Kentucky this fall, yet he can't even get 60% of Democrats to show faith in him?

Didn't I already explain it here?
Beating "uncommitted" with under 60% of the vote is absolutely terrible and embarassing, especially for an incumbent President. With Republicans coming out for Romney, as well as a majority of Independents and a good chunk of Democrats, Obama doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell in Kentucky.

1) Hardly anyone voted.

2) "Uncommitted" is better than the clowns who ran against Obama in other states.

3) Obama did much better than he did in the 2008 primary.
Uncommitted isn't even a person.

Of course Obama did better - there's a huge difference between "Uncommitted" and a former first lady and Senator who has Southern roots. This primary was basically Kentucky Democrats having the option of giving Obama a "stamp of approval" and saying he deserves reelection. When less than 60% of Democrats are showing confidence in him, well, you have a problem.
