Clinton's victory in West Virginia simply gives her more venom to poison the well against Obama. West Virginia is one of the whitest, oldest, poorest, least educated states in the Union, and Clinton will keep playing those demographics against the Illinois senator

While Clinton has, at least temporarily, toned down her rhetoric, she paints herself as the candidate of "hard working Americans, white working class Americans". In a race against a black candidate, that's hardly conciliatory. As half of a $110 million income in recent years, facing a guy who grew up on his (white) mother's food stamps, that's downright disingenuous.

A ride on the subway reveals the rainbow that is New York, so Clinton's label as the candidate of hard-working white people isn't likely to play well in the Big Apple. That ride on the subway is a reminder that many of America's working class voters aren't white.
