Obama polls 52%, while 48% of Kentucky voters voted for "uncommitted."
That seems, well, "problematic" for Obama. No one expects him to win Kentucky, but shouldn't he be getting more than 58% of the vote when no one is running against him.
The Hill tries to spin it Obama-wise:
In Kentucky, Obama did get more total votes than presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who won the GOP primary with almost 67 percent of the vote.
Obama had more than 118,600 votes to Romney's approximately 117,100.
The results are not unexpected. Kentucky is a solid red state. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won it with 58 percent in 2008.
Has a sitting President polled as low as that in an uncontested primary?
The Hill's lack of curiosity is smothering.
