*** A tale of two states: Here’s another thing that last night’s contests once again taught us: Obama doesn’t have a problem with white working-class voters; he has a problem with white-working class voters in Appalachian states. In Kentucky, just one in five of these folks backed him, but in Oregon nearly half of them did.

Nice to see our earlier impression reinforced in real voting. The other telling stat last night was something like 40% of Hillary voters would go for McCain in Kentucky in November. In electoral terms, it's up there with Obama's win in sparsely populated red states.

The delegates count but the impact on the fall race is zero.
