Ha! Based on the 2-1 returns I'm seeing, I think Obama's problem consists of too many of those pesky "typical white people" in Kentucky. Plus it's so far from Illinois as compared to Arkansas, or something.
It's not "white people", it's Appalachian white Democratic primary voters. That is a group that has strongly preferred Clinton over Obama all the way from western New York to the Ozarks. If you look at a map of the country showing counties Clinton got 65% or better in, it's pretty much a swath from western NY to Texas, covering the Appalachians and Ozarks and then a little bit into Texas (into areas of Texas populated largely by people who came from the Appalachians).
I wonder if the pundits are gonna keep repeating that it's "white people" in general, today, given that Oregon is so overwhelmingly white (as are Iowa, Kansas, Vermont, Maine, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, North Dakota...)
