Who is John Wolfe?

It's no surprise that Mitt Romney won the republican presidential primary in Arkansas, but it's the democratic race that has people talking.

President Barack Obama did win the race, but not by much.

In fact, his opponent, John Wolfe, had a strong showing.

About 42 percent of democrats picked the mystery candidate over the Commander in Chief.

But who the heck is John Wolfe?

We did a little digging to find out.

John Wolfe, Jr. is an attorney from Tennessee who's had his fair share of political experience... but only as a candidate.

He's run for office on local, state and national levels, and has never won a race.

But in Arkansas, he sure came close.

He won a few counties in Tuesday's primary, and in a Talk Business-Hendrix College poll taken earlier this month, Wolfe was behind President Obama by only seven percent.

But it appears Wolfe's run for the White House is now over.

He was only on the ballot in four states, including New Hampshire, Missouri and Louisiana, and didn't win any of them.
