Listen, don't buy the hype about West Virginia. Yes there are racist rednecks there willing to parade their bigotry on national TV. They're a tiny state, and they don't represent the center of the American electorate.
I don't see that the Republican attack machine would be any less engaged by Hillary. She starts out a whole lot more polarizing than Obama does. Obama stands a good shot at capturing independents and moderate Republicans, people who would never in a million million years vote for Hillary.
In my view, supporting Obama's candidacy is the same as beating McCain in November.
