Putting the Con in the Democratic Convention?

I didn't think the tightest nomination race would have been on the Democratic side...

In an embarrassment to President Obama, Federal Inmate No. 11593-051 – otherwise known as Keith Judd – won 10 counties and 41 percent of the vote in West Virginia’s Democratic presidential primary Tuesday.

Mr. Judd is incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution in Texarkana, Texas, where he is serving a 210-month sentence for extortion, according to The Charleston Gazette.

...

He is even qualified to have a delegate at the Democratic National Convention, because he won at least 15 percent of vote. However, no one has stepped forward to fill that role.

I at first wondered if Rick Perry could spring him for the convention, but it's a federal case, so that's in Obama's court.

There are a lot of things you can do with naming prospective delegates, but none of them are edifying.

Biggest protest vote since Lyndon Johnson as an incumbent lost the Wisconsin Primary in 1968. Johnson quit.
