The media is alight with stories about how a felon from Texas got 40% of the Democratic primary vote in West Virginia. What they don't mention is the actual vote totals available here:
Obama: 105,830
Judd: 72,461
To put that in context, let's look at the WV Republican primary, where Romney got a grand total of... 77,479. Well below the number who turned out for Obama, and barely more than the number who voted for the felon.
But it's been a long time since our "liberal media" has concerned itself with context, or with giving President Obama a fair shake.
