Race is an issue in West Virginia

Cnn.com leads with a story about Clinton being ahead by 40 points in West Virginia.

The author of the story quotes Kennie Bass, a local political reporter in West Virginia as saying, "This state is really Hillary Clinton's wheelhouse. It's an older population, socially conservative, blue-collar workers." [emphasis mine]

If you can look at that fact and reasonably say that race is not a factor, then you're an idiot.

On reflection, the same type of demographic kept the KKK alive well beyond its years too.
