ACTION ALERT! Republicans Can Vote To Defeat Obama in Arkansas Dem Primary!

Operation Razorback Chaos

The Arkansas Democratic primary is a week away. That is, the open Arkansas primary, in which President Barack Obama is only up 7 against Tennesee attorney John Wolfe (H/T Twitchy.com). Did I mention that this is an open primary?
As White House Dossier correctly points out, the RNC should look at the potential here, particularly against the (apparently) non-insane Wolfe. The challenge comes at an awkward time for the Obama campaign, on the heels of last week’s West Virginia fiasco in which The One was unable to break 60 percent against a federal inmate. I see enormous potential for mayhem here, especially after the awesome clowning that was Juddmentum.
Now that the rest of the GOP field tapped out, there’s no risk. Think about it, Arkansas Republicans…it’s like a hashtag hijack, but funner!

This is a great idea and would be terribly embarrassing to the Obama campaign. Yes, they’re no way they’ll win Arkansas in the general anyway, but the bad press would be very enjoyable! Get’er done, gringos!!!



The Arkansas Primary is TUESDAY, MAY 22nd 2012! Save the date!

With Wolfe at door, Dems say Obama rival can't win delegates in Arkansas

WASHINGTON -- This time the Wolfe really is at President Barack Obama's door. John Wolfe Jr., the Chattanooga, Tenn., attorney who had a surprisingly strong showing in Louisiana's March 24 Democratic presidential primary, is, according to a recent survey in southwest Arkansas, closing in on the president in that state's primary Tuesday. But, while the Louisiana Democratic Party waited until weeks after the vote to announce that Wolfe was not eligible for any of the delegates he had appeared to win in the state's binding primary, the Arkansas Democratic Party announced in advance Thursday that Wolfe won't receive any delegates to the national convention no matter how well he does in the state's primary.



Democratic presidential candidate John Wolfe Jr stands to win more delegates he can't collect in Tuesday's Arkansas Democratic Presidential Primary.


"Mr. Wolfe has been completely non-compliant with Arkansas's Delegate Selection Plan therefore, the National Democratic Party has informed us that Mr. Wolfe is not a candidate participating in good faith and any delegates for Mr. Wolfe would not be recognized at the National Convention," said Candace Martin, spokeswoman for the Arkansas Democratic Party. "We want to ensure that delegates elected to represent Arkansas have the opportunity to fully participate in the national convention. "


That's along much the same lines as the Louisiana Democratic Party's denial of Wolfe's right to receive delegates from each of the three Congressional Districts in which he received more than 15 percent of the vote. The one major difference is that at the time, James Hallinan, who was then the spokesman for Louisiana Democrats, denied that they had consulted with or were taking instructions in the matter of Wolfe from the national party.


Wolfe said Arkansas would join Louisiana on the list of state parties he will have to sue to try to secure the delegates he is entitled to, should he fare well enough Tuesday.


Wolfe said the national and state party's preemptive strike against his right to earn delegates was an effort to "tamp down the vote, they're trying to take away the incentive for people going to vote."


"We are the party trying to get people to vote," said Wolfe, who said the Louisiana, Arkansas and national party's practice flies in the face of the party's and administration's words and actions seeking to fight what they contend are Republican-inspired voter-suppression efforts in one state after another.


According to a Talk-Business-Hendrix College Poll conducted May 10 in the 4th Congressional District which sprawls across southwest Arkansas, Obama was leading Wolfe 45 percent to 38 percent.
Three weeks, ago, the Talk-Business-Hendrix College Poll showed Obama leading 65 to 24 percent in the 1st Congressional District.


Of the most recent survey, Hendrix College political scientist Jay Barth said, "Clearly, as Wolfe is an unknown candidate, the votes for him are in opposition to the president. In this southwest Arkansas primary, 46% of those who plan to vote call themselves conservatives and this group breaks decidedly against the president.


"Most of these voters will never vote for the president in November, but they get an early opportunity to voice their opposition now. While the sample is small, those voters who have already (early) voted have voted more solidly for the president so Obama's showing may not be quite as poor as indicated by the aggregate results. However, the results from Arkansas - based on our polling in the Fourth and First Districts - indicate that the Arkansas primary may produce a somewhat embarrassing result for the President."


Wolfe will get his biggest megaphone to date when he appears Saturday night on the FOX News show hosted by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.


Regardless of Tuesday's outcome, the National Democratic Party seem determined to make sure that embarrassments in Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and West Virginia do not materialize as any dissenting delegate votes when the presidential roll is called in Charlotte, N.C. in September.Related topics: 2012 presidential election, barack obama

Obama Leads by Only 7 in Arkansas's Democratic Primary

The poll covers Arkansas’s Fourth Congressional District.

May 15, 2012 • By MICHAEL WARREN



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

In an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Wolfe said the poll results were “unbelievable” and said a defeat for Obama in the Arkansas primary would be “politically cataclysmic.”

“It says the momentum is good,” Wolfe said about the poll. “This is democracy in action."

Wolfe predicted that the voters would move his way in the final days before the May 22 primary, despite his shoestring campaign budget. “There’s not been a single TV ad. There’s not been a single radio ad,” he said.

Wolfe is also competing against Obama in Texas’s May 29 primary.
Wolfe has criticized Obama for being too close to Wall Street and its interests (for example, Obama’s latest fundraiser with private equity lenders last night in New York City) and seeks to be a more principled Democrat than the 44^th president.

Wolfe also said he supports repealing the president's signature legislation, Obamacare, which he says doesn’t lower health care costs even if the White House claims otherwise.




“I don’t think it’s right in principle to force people to buy from monopolies,” Wolfe said. “The thing about Obamacare is it’s the best thing for the stock prices of insurance companies.” Wolfe added that he supports a single-payer health care system because it will be more cost effective.

Wolfe previously told TWS that he does not support gay marriage, unlike Obama.
