WaPo: Conservative white Democrats who don't vote for Obama in primary are racist

Keep on and they will be Republicans by November...

Via WaPo:

That President Obama lost roughly 40 percent of the vote in Democratic primaries in Arkansas, Kentuckyand 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.
