While the case for
Hillary Clinton to stay in the race is shakier than ever, one ugly reason for staying in could be found Tuesday amid the ruddy, sun-kissed Hoosiers who cheered her on to victory at the
Indianapolis Speedway.
With Clinton posing alongside pioneering Indy speedster
Sarah Fisher, there were almost no African-Americans to be seen
"I'm kind of still up in the air between
McCain and Hillary," said
Jason Jenkins, 32, who cited information from a hoax e-mail as a reason to spurn Obama.
"I'll be honest with you. Barack scares the hell out of me,"he said. "He swore on the Koran."
Obama did manage to pull in many white voters, but still encountered similar sentiments from a man who refused to shake his hand at a diner in Greenwood, Ind.
"I can't stand him," the man said. "He's a Muslim. He's not even pro-American as far as I'm concerned."
He has to convince people that he can win over working-class whites
That cold calculus, while not of Clinton's making, gives her a reason to stay
