Mountain Momma

Well (no surprise, no surprise), it looks like Hillary is going to win West Virginia in a convincing fashion... not the least of which is due to WV's demographics of white, rural, largely uneducated voters. Indeed, as things heat up, it's becoming pretty clear that we are a racist country, something Hillary seems to be milking. It shouldn't be a surprise, considering 30 years ago half the states wouldn't even allow interracial marriage. But, hey, I suppose that's what you get with a democracy... even the idiots who think Obama is a Muslim have a say.

And it's there where the press (and Hillary, as she comes to terms with role as runner-up) have a responsibility... they should clearly say that he isn't a Muslim, and that it shouldn't matter if he was; for they are not part of the ignorant masses, and don't have the excuse that they don't know any better.
