Tuesday's Results: The Tea Party shows it's alive and well, Wisconsin's embattled governor gets more votes than the top two Democrats and a federal inmate gives the president a primary battle. The natives are still restless.
Conservative pundit and IBD contributor Ann Coulter once said she, like many Americans, would rather vote for Jeffrey Dahmer, known for his unusual culinary choices, over President Obama. Federal prisoner Keith Russell Judd, 49, is not quite in Dahmer's league, but for a substantial portion of West Virginia Democrats, he is also preferable to our campaigner-in-chief.

I can't imagine how the Dems could set the bar any power.
Mass murderer maybe?
Meanwhile the independants want the Repubs to be civil "Or Else" by golly they will vote DemocRAT.
Can you say *Kennedy*?
What a felon convicted of extortion and making threats to dems?
Dahmer didn't eat puppy-dog.
In my opinion, We The People are “fed up” and intend to send the vermin in DC packing. Everyone I talk to is outraged and angry and consider DC a corrupt sewer.
GOOD!
In 1988, the Harris County (Houston, Texas) Democratic Committee voted as its chair thing Leslie Perez, a convicted murderer and transexual. At which point I concluded that the Democratic Party was hopelessly reprobate.

This is going to end up being epic...
