05/14/2008: "More than half of West Virginia's 95% white voters said that they wouldn't be happy if Obama got the nomination"

Last month after the Pennsylvania caucus, I mentioned a Republican calculation that 15% of white voters would never vote for a Black man. Exit polls gave circumstantial confirmation.

Then came reports earlier this week of Obama canvassers confronting racists in the streets and on the phone.

Last night, more than half of West Virginia's 95% white voters said that they wouldn't be happy if Obama got the nomination. A shockingly large number say they would vote for McCain if he got the nomination.

[ The white vote is a response to seeing that 90% of black people vote for Obama, and that his identity politics: I am black so i am a racial martyr and messenger of christlike peace, defined the campaign. ]
