I remember in 2008 and during the primaries on TV. They would ask the people who they were voting for or who. State after state, people who said they weren't voting for Obama gave silly reasons like him not wearing a flag pin or him not holding his hand over his heart during the national anthem. When they got to West Virginia. A little old lady finally said the truth and simply said she couldn't vote for a black man.
