If Appalachia was a country, Hillary Clinton could be President.-- RON REAGAN
Exit polls from Oregon punch a big hole in the theory that Barack Obama's problem with working class whites is generic.

And he beat Clinton among voters with no college degree, as well.
Incidentally, like Kentucky and West Virginia, Oregon is an overwhelmingly white state.
