Dems Think The Only Reason to Vote Against Obama is Racism

Really?:
That President Obama lost roughly 40 percent of the vote in Democratic primaries in Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virginia over the last two weeks has drawn massive national headlines.

Those headlines have drawn a collective eyeroll from Democrats — and many others who closely follow national politics — who ascribe the underperformance by the incumbent to a very simple thing: racism.

No, none of these Democrats are willing to put their name to that allegation — either generally or for this story. But, it is, without question the prevalent viewpoint they hold privately.

They argue that conservative white Democrats — particularly those in the South and Appalachia — don’t want to vote for an African American for president and, therefore, are willing to cast a ballot for almost anyone else up to and including an incarcerated felon. (Keith Judd, we are looking at you.)

The problem with that theory is that it’s almost entirely unprovable because it relies on assuming knowledge about voter motivations that — without being a mindreader — no one can know.
They just can't believe that someone could oppose Obama because of his incompetence or his socialist policies. They're in for a shock because using their logic wide swaths of the country will turn racist in November.

"None of these Democrats are willing to put their name to that allegation — either generally or for this story."

If Republican politicians made a similarly baseless and inflammatory accusation about the electorate, would The Post dutifully hide their identities too?

The NY Times leaked months ago that Obama was throwing in the towel on white working class voters. This is the result.

Talk about stupid. (And you did.)

They COULD be in denial, I suppose. They are refusing to see reality.
