The electability challenge, boiled of fat

From C:

"I really don't want an African-American as President ... I thought about it. I think he would put too many minorities in positions over the white race. That's my opinion. After 1964, you saw what the South did ... There's a lot of white people that just wouldn't vote for a colored person. Especially older people," - a Clinton supporter in Eastern Kentucky, to George Packer of the New Yorker.

This is really no surprise to anyone (especially a white person) who has lived in any of the less progressive areas of the United States. I say white person because a person of color wouldn't get the honesty.
