West Virginian voters' greatest hits

Dramatic reenactment.

As the flood of news articles about Tuesday's West Virginia primary start rolling in, it's hard not to notice the parade of rural "regular folks" that the press seem to continually encounter on the trail. Not only are they so polite, they're also so not-racist, as they continually remind reporters over and over again.

So why did Hillary win by such a large margin? We'll let the voters tell it themselves:

I guess because he is another race, I'm sort of scared of the other race. Cuz we have so much conflict with them.

- Wanda Gibson, undecided voter in WV

I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president.

- Josh Fry, a 24-year-old ambulance driver from Williamson, who "insisted he was not racist."

I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife's an atheist.

- Leonard Simpson, a West Virginia Democrat.

I don't think it's being racist necessarily, they just don't like black people that well. The arrogance and all bothers me more than black, but black is a close second.

- West Virginia voter R.K. Horton

White people look out for white people, black people look out for black people.

- Union organizer, just across the border in Pittsburgh

[Obama] takes the cake, because of, you know, who he is.

- Eric Hardy, 38, a former Democrat and president of the West Virginia Coon Hunters Association. Also, owner of a Osama, Obama, and Chelsea's Mama sign.

Of course, West Virginia is over and done now. Next primary stop: Kentucky...

I really don't want an African-American as President. I thought about it. I think he would put too many minorities in positions over the white race.

- J. K. Patrick, a retired state employee in Inez, Kentucky wearing a "Hillary: Smart Choice" button.
