Obama Could Lose Arkansas Primary

From The Weekly Standard:
A new poll of Arkansas Democrats shows Barack Obama receiving support from only 45 percent of Democratic primary voters in Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District, while 38 percent support his underfunded and relatively unknown primary challenger, Tennessee lawyer John Wolfe, Jr. Seventeen percent are undecided in the district poll.
Oh my. That image is via @hradzka, by the way. My husband says that Arkansas has an open primary. So if GOP voters wanted to crossover and vote for Wolfe, he's only down 7.

Maybe this is Ted Kennedy's year. ;^D

Re: Obama Could Lose Arkansas Primary
I told my wife in '96, "don't worry, Dole is going to win". And in '08, I told her, "there is no way an inexperienced community organizer is going to be a respected Senator and war hero". So, I'm 0-2 in making presidential predictions, but that doesn't mean I am always going to be wrong. Having said that, I am getting a vibe that 2012 is going to be a 2010-like Armageddon for Democrats (not just Obama).

Yes, but how is he polling in the other three congressional districts in Arkansas?

Jeepers. I want to be your bookie. Except for this year, where I've been predicting a 5-6 point Obama loss since, last year. Nothing has changed that estimate since (except when we almost nominated *gulp* Newt).
Mollie, I blame Tina Korbe for this. Jr Miss Arkansas sways a lot of votes. It's her Operation Chaos. Expect to see Politico searching through her tax returns. Mostly I just want to rifle her underwear drawer (she's my size!)

While I know this will have no practical effect on the general election, it could play an important role in the ongoing debate over direct presidential elections. Without Barry on the ballot in Arkansas, he likely won't have enough votes to take the overall national vote.
If Barry wins the national vote but loses the general election, you can bet the number one issue being debated by Democrats and their media lemmings in November and December will be direct elections and the illegitimacy of the Romney administration.

I hope Republicans do not cross over, because the Democrats need to be shaken up from the inside.

I heard that the Syphilitic Camel is leading the write-in vote.
Or was it Mickey Mouse? Oh, no, he is the Democrat voter - there seem to be a lot of 'em.

If Romney wins the national vote but loses the Electoral College we will not hear anything about the "illegitimacy" of Obama's administration in the press

No matter what the outcome is, it will be interpreted through the Democratic "it's right if we win" lens.

If Obama lost the Arkansas primary, and I don't think he will because the linked article says only that the race is close in one of the four congressional districts in the state, that doesn't mean he wouldn't appear on the ballot in Arkansas in November. He's still going to be the Democrat nominee and appear on the ballot in all 57 states.
