I'm beginning to conclude that Obama has less of a problem getting white voters than either Kerry or Gore. If that turns out to be the case, the argument certainly shifts.

I've also pretty much concluded that the bulk of the Obama problem with the low income white vote is fairly specific. It's definitely not limited to Appalachia but as an electoral issue he does quite well with white voters outside Appalachia.

Speaking as a Scots-Irish guy myself. I think Webb over glorified my ethnic tribe. Much worse can and has been said about us.
