"The good thing is the Democratic presidential primary has absolutely no legal significance," Ysursa said.

With that said, Judd looks like a guy can get things done, my vote is for Judd.

Now THATS a mullet. Looks like a giant anteater.

"It's a mockery of the system, and it's too bad that this kind of thing can happen," said Chuck Oxley, a state Democratic Party spokesman.

How in the hell is it a mockery of the system? It's a primary. He should be on the ballot if he follows the rules like everyone else.

Someone didn't watch the debate.

Judd 2008!

 
kingMountain [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 02:20:56 AM  
his "shiv in every snitch, c*ck in every biatch" platform is pretty tight.

FTA: Keith Russell Judd is serving time at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution in Texas for making threats at the University of New Mexico in 1999. He's scheduled for release in 2013.

Just what kind of threats do you have to make to get 14 years?

I usually vote a straight MS-13 ticket, but this might be the year that I vote for a few Aryan Brotherhood candidates on some of the state ballots.

"We may rethink how we get on our presidential ballot next time," Ysursa said. "We'll take a look at it. We've got four years to think about it."

may?

 
Crosshair [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 02:57:49 AM  
I bet Judd gets a significant number of votes from people who don't like either Clinton or Obama.

/Can't wait to see the results.

 
ScubaDude1960 [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 03:59:30 AM  
Knowing absolutely nothing about Judd, I hope he gets the nomination and then beats McCain.

 
insomniac8400 2008-04-17 06:22:33 AM  
This Judd guy is going to give Hillary a run for her money. He is way more credible.

Run Judd Run

I'm waiting to hear his views on rural America, religion and guns before I decide.

 
bargled 2008-04-17 06:33:12 AM  
Any bets on how many votes he'll get?

 
fataldemon 2008-04-17 06:33:17 AM

TaGirl_Keri 2008-04-17 06:33:31 AM  
Does he wear his flag pin proudly?

 
Excen 2008-04-17 06:38:04 AM  
As a citizen of the State of Idaho, I can conclusively say that the Democratic Primary in the state is completely pointless. The Republicans could run Hugo Chavez in 2008 and the Mormons and Hillbillies would still vote GOP.

/Oh, and Bill_Wicks_Friend, the only gangs we have in the state of Idaho are Straightedge Mormons on Mopeds

Impromptu campaign slogan contest go!!

/Judge said no, but Judd says yes!

I'm surprised ABC didn't ask about this on their debate.

 
labberdasher 2008-04-17 06:46:05 AM  
A straight shooter. You know where he's coming from. Did the crime, did the time.
Which is more than you can say for the average politician.

/I like this guy.
//I don't know anything about this guy.
///Weeeee!

 
wydok 2008-04-17 06:47:28 AM  
Judd '08! At least me admits to being a criminal!

 
jedikinkoid 2008-04-17 06:47:51 AM  
SafariShane - Just what kind of threats do you have to make to get 14 years?

I was wondering exactly the same thing.

 
castufari 2008-04-17 06:47:56 AM  
They didn't have any problems taking his 1k, did they?

At least we know he's a con.

 
dahmers love zombie [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 06:48:36 AM  
Conned?

I believe you were looking for "pwn3d". Though I would have accepted "pig-roasted by one guy", "ABCDebated", or "Seacrested".

 
Shrinkwrap 2008-04-17 06:50:30 AM  
Vote Judd people. The hair says it all.

 
Nabb1 [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 06:51:41 AM  
As a Louisianan, I have no problems backing the convicted felon. Judd!

 
MorningBreath [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 06:52:35 AM  
his threat really was not very specific. If I remember correctly it was

"First Idaho, then the world."

Surprisingly, it looks like he is going to make good on his threat.

 
mxwjs 2008-04-17 06:53:28 AM  
Well, what is the worst that can happen? he would win, and we would be taken about 10 times more seriously in the world than we are now. at lease he LOOKS smarter than Bush.

 
King Something [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 06:57:46 AM  
This will not end well for Hillary.

 
Mattyb710 [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 07:01:37 AM  
No matter how many votes he gets this time, he won't get any national convention delegates. Idaho's delegates are chosen at party caucuses.

"The good thing is the Democratic presidential primary has absolutely no legal significance," Ysursa said.


That's nice, come right out and tell the people their votes dont mean anything.

 
No Such Agency 2008-04-17 07:02:56 AM  
Well let's see... a criminal who uttered some threats, a criminal who murdered Vince Foster and maybe a dozen other people, or a black-supremacist who's wife would be the first FLOTUS who hated her own country. I'd say at least Dems in Idaho have one option that's not completely terrible.

Doesn't look so bad in comparison.

bargled: Any bets on how many votes he'll get?

Hopefully more than the zero he got in 2004 when he was a write-in.
I'd vote for him just for the hell of it, but I don't live in Idaho.

Maybe this time he'll remember to vote for himself, since he must have forgotten to last time.

/think he'll let me be his campaign manager?

Is that a ponytail, or did he cut the tail off some poor creature!

 
BMFPitt 2008-04-17 07:13:02 AM  
Wait, is there someone running that isn't a con artist?

Right now the best hope I have is that if McCain gets in, he'll go senile and think he's McCain from 8 years ago. That guy would have been a good President.

 
oddball318 2008-04-17 07:20:05 AM  
Though he is on the ballot, Judd wont be able to vote for himself.

 
fenian- 2008-04-17 07:20:11 AM  
Is that thing still going on? I thought y'all chose the african muslim fellow to take monkeyboys place?

Of course. I don't know how that little 'prisoners can't vote' thing slipped my mind.

You know, with a slogan like that, he stands a chance, but good god, there's something crawling up his neck! kill it!

Only if its this Judd:

I'd gladly stuff HER ballot box, ifyaknowwhatImean.

/Its from Marie Claire, so its SFW

 
Cerebral Ballsy [TotalFark] 2008-04-17 07:35:37 AM  
Holy shiat.. McCain is 72??? That's too old. Way too old, man.

/Just found out, lol
/Damn.. he looks no older than 50

If you don't hate this country in its current state, you're unpatriotic.

If I were Judd you know what I'd do if I got elected President? I'd get myself a pardon. Then I'll tell you what I'd do, man--Two chicks at the same time. Damn straight, man. I've always wanted to do that. I figure if I were the President, I could hook that up. Chicks dig guys with power.

 
randomstranger 2008-04-17 07:53:25 AM

50? Maybe if this was the 19th century he'd look 50. The dude looks 80, easily.

Uaaaahahahaha!

I can't score it, I'm laughing too much!
