Arkansas Primary Returns: Lefty Panic Moves to DEFCON 3

So, I'm sitting here watching the returns come in down in Arkansas and I can't help but wonder when the Democrats will fully come to the realization that Obama has been an absolute disaster for their party.  I know the Clintonite faction has come to that conclusion long ago, but when will the party as a whole internalize this fact?  The inmate-guy in WV, "Uncommitted" in Kentucky and now this Wolfe fellow in Arkansas.  Will the Dems just chalk this up to the esoterica of the low-sloping foreheads or will they be murmuring "Holy Freaking Shit" as they frantically call their therapists?  The answer, of course, is the later.  Foreheads only slope low when we are talking about Republicans and/or people so inclined as to contemplate voting for Republicans.  Arkansans, West Virginians, and Kentuckians are all thoroughly decent people and members in good-standing in the brotherhood of civilized society when they fall in line with elite coastal viewpoints.  Thus what we have is a "Holy Freaking Shit" moment a-brewing here.  I'm moving the Lefty Panic Attack Condition to DEFCON 3.

UPDATE:  With 67 of 75 counties reporting, Wolfe has 42% of the vote and the Lightworker has 58%.  DEFCON 3.5 if you ask me, although when it comes to the MSM, I predict...crickets....

UPPDATE:  John at Powerline adds some historical context - essentially the same results sent LBJ packing in 1968, although McCarthy was a credible candidate whereas "Uncommitted" and a federal inmate are not (although, IMHO anybody/thing would be better than Obama, including Glenn Reynolds's syphilitic camel).  Also, the Democrats were different then.  The radical progressive wing has taken over and expunged moderate, sensible Democrats.  Not to worry though, the Clintonite Restoration is underway.

UPPPDATE:  I have to throw in a little conspiratorial flavoring into the soup.  Here we are at 11:00am on the following day and Arkansas is stuck at only 67 of 75 counties reported.  What's is going on?  Is there some reasonable explanation for the delay or are those 8 additional counties electorally peculiar in a way that only Michael Barone could understand and somehow hiding even worse news for the Lightworker...???
