Can the next Democratic nominee stop the bleeding in WV? I doubt anyone can win it, but who could bring the totals back above 40% for example?
Clinton would carry West Virginia, Kentucky, maybe Tennessee, definitely Arkansas, and turn Louisiana into a tossup state.
I doubt it very much, except for Arkansas.
Clinton was an evil libruhl socialist up until 2008... that challenge she gave Obama really tickled the fancies of all the old, white racists in the party. Surprisingly, the progressives and mainstreamers still love her just the same. I think she has a nice chance in these Upper South states if she's running against a Romney-type... against a Bush-type from the R.R., she likely doesn't do any better than Gore did against Bush.
