This is a story that must be causing a bit of "indigestion" at the Obama reelection office.
"President Barack Obama continued
to have trouble on Tuesday performing in Democratic primaries in
traditionally conservative states, barely eking out wins in Kentucky and
Arkansas.
The president didn’t even have an opponent in Kentucky,
but with 99 percent of the vote counted, Obama took just 57.9 percent
of the vote, with the remaining more than 42 percent of ballots cast for
“uncommitted.”
We saw similar problems in Louisiana (76-24), North Carolina (79-21), Oklahoma (57-43) and West Virginia (59-41). Kentucky was also a problem (57-42)
Again, Pres BO had no formal opposition except in Arkansas where an underfunded opponent ran against by calling for the repeal of BO-Care!
So what's going on?
As Richard Baehr mentioned on our show Tuesday, these are Dems in name only. More and more Southern Dems are voting GOP at the national level. These are the sons and daughters of the Reagan Democrats, the conservative base of the Dem party that does not subscribe to the San Francisco values proposed by Pres BO.
My guess is that this "protest vote" was driven a bit by Pres BO's recent decision to "evolve" into supporting same sex marriage. I don't think that "same sex marriage" plays well in all of those counties between NY City and San Francisco. I know that it does not. Same sex marriage goes down big every time that voters get to vote!
Pres BO will win the nomination but my guess is that the party will have to offer some seats to non-BO delegates. At the very least, Pres BO won't be unanimously renominated.
