43. NO. That's absolutely NOT TRUE.
65% of the voters in the Kentucky democratic primary self-identified as conservatives.

With 90% of the vote in, Hillary Clinton has 65% of the vote.

What does that tell you. The conservatives voted for Hillary. That's her base in a state like Kentucky or West Virginia. Obama is not a conservative, that's not his base, he's never going to get that vote no matter how long and hard he campaigned in Kentucky.

That's just reality. Bill Clinton won because he was a southern conservative Democrat who campaigned on conservative standbys like "personal responsibility" and "welfare reform." Obama is not that sort of candidate. He would not win a state like Kentucky. Period. Throw a little racism into the mix and that basically spells "no chance."
