No matter how you skew it, all three candidates carry baggage with them that affects people's opinions. Never before have we had such clear cut issues facing the electrorate than we do today. Whether it's racism, sexism, or ageism, voters either confront or hide from the facts.

What other conclusions can be drawn in WV except that the majority of voters in this 95% white state harbor racism. Whether it is blatent or hidden, it exists. The issues are too close between the Democratic contenders for one not to ask this question. In some states it's been to Obama's favor. It's the scope of the win and the demographic of the state that makes this a true indicator of people's motivations.
