Amazing examples of reverse racism abound. Nora O'Donnell all but said the folks in WV are undereducated whites and simply aren't O's base. Well.......eff him/her and the horses they rode in on. Do him right down there in KY next week :)

Bush: Worst President Ever
I'm curious, what was the Black vote for Obama? I've noticed the media stresses the 'educated' white vote v the uneducated whites. I've not seen too much analysis in other demographics.
Clinton cruises to easy win in West Virginia
Do the math for me bro. I'm a small town white guy :)
They do not do exit polls for black voters, waste of time. hehehehehe
You are a better person than I am to watch her. I wrote off MSNBC about 6 months ago, Olbermann too. And you know what a fan of his I was. Not only is a racial divide going on, but now the media is trying to divide by education. Undereducated is highlighted in articles now, almost as much as race. I know college grads and I know high school grads. Some high school grads have a hell ofalot more smarts than the *educated* ones.
Bush: Worst President Ever
Exit polls showed Obama picked up more than a quarter of the white vote in West Virginia, which has a small black population. Two of every 10 white voters said race was a factor in their vote, and only a third of those said they would support Obama against McCain. About half of West Virginia voters said they believed the Illinois senator shared the views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his controversial former pastor.
Let me say it again: 2/3 of WV's registered voters are Demos so W must have got close to half of the Demos. How many of the Demos who voted for Bush you think picked Obama today?
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
Ohhhhhhhhh. When O told folks that he needed to make people believe in change though it would not be evident in their daily lives, I'm thinking might have been a real stink bomb. Petty little selfish people.
Obama did not appear in public after the voting ended in West Virginia, but a campaign spokeswoman said he left Clinton a congratulatory message on her mobile phone. That was nice.
Clinton: 'I am more determined than ever to carry on' (CNN) — After a projected win by a wide margin in West Virginia, Sen. Hillary Clinton told her supporters Tuesday night — and by implication, the Democratic Party's outstanding uncommitted superdelegates — that she is not dropping out of the White House race any time soon.
They are not dumb. They don't need a talking head like the so called eggheads do to tell them what to think. Of course Obama shares the same views of his Pastor. He considered him part of his family even.
God is always good!
He's pure Americana....belched up from the halls of academia, and fed through their multicultural filter. Cut me a break. If he were a red headed Irishman named Murphy, he'd be a union electrician in Chicago - at best.
(CNN) — If Hillary Clinton ends up winning more than 70.05 percent of the vote in West Virginia tonight, she will have her best showing of the campaign to date.

I think that is unfair.
Yeah well, the *pundits* have decided that's not good enough. Tough shit. I haven't had my say so in this mess yet. I will though. I'll be there bright and early Tuesday morning.
Bush: Worst President Ever
It is one thing to despise a certain culture but quite obscene when we have people here that say they were hill billies but despise their own heritage. That is the ultimate elitism. Then to hang the "lack" of education on them as another reason to despise is the ultimate sickness of our society.
that tube's for you too!

Yea, that Lynndie England is a real brain trust. She tortures real good too. Probably votes just as good. God bless her and hers. Salt of the earth, I tell ya...

Arator... You are beyond words.
I wouldn't translate that as 'Hillary's voters are a bunch of racists'. If one in five said race 'influenced' their vote then it's quite safe to say that 4 in 5 were not exactly truthful. That doesn't make everyone a racist. Webster's definition or racism is "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race". The articles you quote do not suggest that Obama's or Hillary's race were the PRIMARY determinant in their decision. They only state that one fifth of the Whites stated that race INFLUENCED their choice.

About half of West Virginia voters said they believed the Illinois senator shared the views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his controversial former pastor. Thanks TT... I can hardly wait for the map breakout.
I listened to it and comprehended the message, one which escapes so many elitists here.
They should sent the smart ones to war first... then it would be over faster!
Geeze!!!!! How do come up with this so fast?? !!!! LOL !
Obama went to Harvard. and I will say there is a LOT! of affirmative action at Harvard. there are completely different standards at Harvard for different people based on their race and whether or not they are jewish or not. If you are white and christian, then you are persecuted in the admissions standards of Harvard, that is not my opinion, that is a fact. Less than 30% of Harvard is white & christian, despite that over 70% of america is white and christian. I don't advocate racism, just the opposite. I wonder why Harvard practices racism.
Revelation 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Dont tell our resident elitists that hate their own whiteness where Robert Penn Warren sprang from.
Cyni, About THEM. They somehow have put the entire WV primary on Bozo filter. Not a word.
Did you ask red to take off his muddy shoes before he slithered in?
As opposed to all WV primary all the time? Like it really matters? Somewhere, there is a happy medium. ;^)

West Virginia Democratic Primary 13-May-08 Delegates: 39 County Results --- 69% Reporting 1 Clinton 160,618 66% 2 Obama 65,850 27%
LOL
Jethro... Fox is still constipated tonite when it comes to Obama and assessing the guilt of those mean hill billies... From fox.. "Hillary Clinton kept her support among women, seniors, lower income and less-educated whites and rural voters, according to Tuesday’s FOX News exit poll of the West Virginia Democratic primary race." They are in actuality harming Obummer by repaeating his words over and over. Are there no " blacks" in WV????????????????
Red, I agree 100% with your comment, and I call this reverse racism. Please do me a favor? Post something at robin's forum about this injustice? Loads of examples exist. She, and others there, simply don't acknowledge that it exists. As an example, Obama's children, given the status of the family, do not deserve such a benefit, yet they will receive it. Perhaps a means test? god, we can do better than this as a society.
The smart, college educated ones are the same ones that gave us Bush, twice.

LETS DO THE REVERSE RACISM TEST:

As far as WV voting for Bush, what does that have to do with a D primary?
#80. To: Arator (#67)
WV's got coal fires or industrial smelters burning somewhere all the time. Hence, its effigy (if it is a true likeness) is already lit up. There's no need to set fire to what is already burning.

WV was bad but letting them vote in KY is asking too much from a black slick from chicago that is living on food stamps and got a free ride thru school.

Racial attitudes also came into play, and favorably for Clinton. About one in five whites said race influenced their choice of a candidate,
