Clinton Crushes Obama in WV, But That is Not the Big Story

According to CNN, with 58% of the vote counted at 10:35 PM Eastern, she beat him 65%-28%, well over double.
There is this little nasty (if you are a Democrat) tidbit buried in the exit polls.
Looking ahead to the general election, 59 percent of Clinton voters say they would either vote for Republican John McCain or not vote at all if Obama is the Democratic nominee. Thirty six percent of Clinton voters said they would vote for Obama while 35 percent said they would vote for McCain and 24 percent said they would sit the election out. Fifty one percent of Obama’s voters said they would support Clinton in the general election while 31 percent said they would support McCain and 14 percent would not vote.
Since Obama likely has the nomination, the first figure, 59% of Hillary's very large majority will not vote for Obama. That is huge.
Then there is this.
From News.com
But exit polls have again showed potential problems on the horizon for Democratic strategists. White voters chose Senator Clinton by a margin of 68 per cent to 28 per cent. Almost three in four blue-collar voters backed her.
Tomorrow, some will call that racism. The whites can't vote for the black guy.
Anyone see any exit polls for how many African-Americans voted for Obama? I couldn't find any. Did the media forget to get this information or do they not want to publish it? If his majority among blacks is higher than hers among whites, is that racism?

There aren't any really. The minority population in the state is virtually nothing (according to the Census Bureau estimate, the blacks made up 3.3% of the population in 2006). I would guess that the exit polls didn't have enough black respondents to actually create a statistically valid result and so weren't able to release any real information on that population.
But you could look at the results from PA, IN and OH and get a pretty good idea of how the small black population in WV broke down - I'd guess it wasn't much different.
