Forget Kansas—what's the matter with West Virginia?

If Hillary really does end up winning West Virginia by 20 or 30 percentage points, you really have to ask yourself what's going through the minds of those voters. Did Huckabee have any such wins after his fate was equally clear? (Not a rhetorical question—I have forgotten, as it was AGES ago.)

It seems weird to me that so many people would care enough about Hillary Clinton to go vote for her at this point. Could that many people in West Virginia really believe that a strong showing for her in their state will make a difference now? Are they disengaged from the reality, from the news, or what? Here's a state that originated with not wanting to back a losing cause, and Hillary is expected to win there by double digits. It does not compute for me at all. (I mean, it does, since the place is surely full of gun-clinging, Bible-clinging hard-working white racists, but I'd love to give them a little more credit.)
