MSM is hoping Obama will be embarrassed in today's Arkansas & KY primaries [View all]

Democrats are concerned that no-name challenger John Wolfe could embarrass President Obama in today's Arkansas Democratic presidential primary.

Charlie Mahtesian: "Coming on the heels of Obama's West Virginia performance -- where a convicted felon won 41 percent against him on May 8 -- this contest has a similarly high potential embarrassment factor. Arkansas, once the home state to the Clintons, was Obama's single worst in the 2008 primaries: Hillary Clinton beat him 70 percent to 27 percent. In November, he was shellacked again by John McCain, losing by 20 percentage points."

The Fix: "Couple Wolfe's candidacy in Arkansas with the fact that Kentucky -- another place where Obama isn't popular with many people who call themselves Democrats -- also votes today (Obama faces no opponents in Kentucky, but voters there can select 'uncommitted' as an option) and you have the potential for a less-than-friendly narrative regarding Obama come Wednesday."
