If you look at the map and the demographics of the remaining states it's clear that one state in particular has the makings of a Hillary blowout, West Virginia. To be blunt looking at the votes that have come in from parts of bordering states that are culturally similar, it's not going to be pretty. The good news though is Obama will have a few popular state political leaders to help make his case to Hillary's base. First Jay Rockefeller and now Nick Rahall.

"The new voters he has brought to the process this year and the new direction, in my opinion, add up to what our country needs," Rahall said.
Obama has struggled to win the support of the type of working-class white voters who populate much of Rahall’s 3rd district in the southern portion of the state. In the Ohio primary on Tuesday, many of them backed Hillary Rodham Clinton , and Rahall acknowledged that his pick may be out of step with the leanings of the Democratic voters in his district."I recognize this may not be a popular decision in my district," he said. The district has the third‑lowest median income in the country.
So add another super to Obama's total even though he hasn't officially announced. Obama is not going to win among this type of voter against Hillary but he does need to be a little more aggressive in trying to hold the margins down. In Ohio he should have done a few more events in the rural parts of the state, the more people he actually can meet the less likely they are to believe the emails and the smears that we know are partly to blame for his pathetic showing among appalachian whites. Hopefully Rahall can help Obama atleast get a fair hearing from Mountaneer state voters.
