Will Obama Lose West Virginia, Kentucky Because He's Black?

Given every metric, Barack Obama is obviously well positioned to win the Democratic presidential nomination. And yet, on Tuesday, he's going to lose the West Virginia primary by a very large margin. A week later, he's going to lose the Kentucky primary by a whole lot of percentage points, too.

Polling is a little sketchy, but Hillary Clinton should win West Virginia by about 40 points (Bill Clinton suggested the other day HRC's margin could be as high as 80 points). Polls in Kentucky point to a Clinton victory in the 35-point range.
