About That "Dems Must Win West Virginia" Argument...

Hillary Clinton has been hammering the point that "no Democrat has won the White House without winning West Virginia since 1916."

No Democrat has won the White House without winning Minnesota since 1912. Obama won Minnesota by 34 points.

I just heard on TV on Andrea Michell hammering Joe Andrew about obama and WV and how he will need that state and why has he not been in that state compaigning etc. etc. My take? we are not talking about working class voters, those he can fix. It is the racism in that state which he cannot alter. I hope more journalist recognize this and write about it. So far none has done that. Which actually means endorsing racism expressed by the voters in WV.

Whites in West Virginia did not vote 90% for Hillary Clinton. Racially aligned voting is more pronounced among the African American electorate DESPITE Bill Clinton's appointing African Americans while he was president as well as Hillary Clinton helping Obama get elected as senator.
