Of course in any part of THIS country there is going to be some racism, but overall, I just think they didn't like Obama AND they never vote Republican.  That's it.  They are traditionalist Democrats and the party ran a new type of candidate.  Look at the turnout.  Racism would indicate they went to the polls in droves to keep the black guy out of office.  They didn't, turnout in Appalachia was awful.  I think the margins are due to a double effect of THOSE THAT ARE RACIST turning out to vote McCain and the rest (and the vast majority, mind you) simply not liking either candidate. 

My own mother didn't vote this year because she didn't like either candidate.  It happens. 

Oh well,  we won.
