About two out of every five Democratic voters in Tuesday's presidential primary in Kentucky chose "uncommitted" instead of voting for President Barack Obama. State Republican Party Chairman Steve Robertson contended that the Democrats who vote most regularly, those he termed "the Democrats of Democrats," said 'no' to their president. If the Kentucky Democratic Party doesn't get it after this race, they need to stare long and hard at the results. This shows that Obama has even more than an uphill battle to win Kentucky in the fall." State Democratic Party Chairman Daniel Logsdon said Robertson should temper his exuberance. He noted that Obama was getting more votes than presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Romney swept the Kentucky and Arkansas Republican presidential primaries. Romney is within 110 delegates of winning the nomination, a threshold he should reach next week, when voters go to the polls in Texas.
