Why is the breakdown in KY only addressing race with the pundits? Why not the fact that Obama campaigned little there, and basically ceded because he know he could not win? Did that fact impact the margin as much as race might have? How is that any different than Clinton dissing the "unimportant" caucus states?
That is not accurate. While not there in person, he blanketed the state with ads, and outspent the Clinton campaign from I heard last night.

Why isn't anyone drawing a misogyny inference from the fact that 2/3rds of Oregon men voted for Obama?
