    WV viewpoint

    Last African-American still working for Clinton please turn out the lights as you leave.

    This is more than borderline - it IS racism.

    I live in West Virginia, the oldest, whitest and most rural state in the union. I have to tell you, I see way more Obama signs (including the one in my front yard) and bumper stickers than for Hillary. Granted I live in what passes for a more urban area of the state. But tell you what, Obama is even now opening up new campaign offices, including one in my area where I have never ever seen a presidential campaign HQ before.

    If Obama stays even semi- close on Tuesday, it will be a victory. And don't be surprised if it happens.
