In Appalachian America (the heart of which went to the polls yesterday in West Virginia), prostate as Mark Schmitt notes in the forthcoming issue of the American Prospect (which I edit), a disproportionate number of people write “American” when answering the census question on ethnic origin.

If I vote against Barack Obama this fall it will be because I disagree with his stances on abortion, gun control, taxation, free trade, and national healthcare; NOT because of the color of his skin.
And if I do decide to vote for him, it won’t be because some elitist twit at the Washington Post might call me a racist if I don’t.
