Lessons learned from inmate's challenge to Obama in W.Va.

NBC Politics - Lessons learned from inmate's challenge to Obama in W.Va.
In case you hadn't heard, an incarcerated federal prisoner challenged Obama in the West Virginia Democratic primary and made it a horse race. Obama won 59-41. In other words, if the challenger had been any normal human being, Obama might have lost. The prisoner did nothing to advance his campaign other than to pay the $2500 filing fee.

(Obama has a 33% approval rating in WV. His administration has been at odds with the coal mining industry, reminiscent of Maggie Thatcher's struggles in decades past.)
