Hillary rolls in West Virginia

This fascinating map, via Ross, via Andrew, depicts the counties wherein Clinton captured 65% or more of the vote and may help to explain why the rout was on in West Virginia.

It would appear that the Scots-Irish of the Appalachian belt are turning out in huge numbers for the former first lady. Last night’s solid drubbing of Obama in West Virginia, according to this map, was entirely predictable. And, what the heck, I’ll go out on a limb and predict a similar result when the primaries visit Kentucky next Tuesday. On the other hand, I would expect South Dakota, Montana and Oregon to be much closer. In the end, it is likely that Hillary has one more solid outing in the works and it she will need to make it count, if she wants to sway the outstanding Superdelegates to her orbit.
