Great Analysis of Senator Obama’s "Appalachian" Problem By Senator Webb

I was willing to simply consider the Appalachian states as racist. I thought that Senator Obama would do well to simply ignore them and build his base with a coalition that consistently has had him ahead in the polls. Jim Webb’s analysis gives me great pause. His analysis leads me to believe that Senator Obama should indeed try to read these folks not on a cerebral basis but on bread and butter issues triangulated with the common issues of other minorities that they are much against because of misunderstood issues.
