There's some room to wonder how much of this represents a continuation of longer term trends. But the clear regional split here is certainly consistent with the idea that white *southern* Democrats reacted adversely to Obama because of race — PolitiTweet.org

WV also reacted to Obama in a way that's much more like the white South. Here the swing from 12-04. Of the sort of spots that swung Democratic during the New Deal era (go look at the 16-48 map again), the southern ones bolted at Obama but not so much northern https://t.co/NfPuHvf7Lf — PolitiTweet.org

It should also be noted that the particularly severe D decline in WV is undoubtedly bc of Obama's coal policies, which not only forfeited but totally reversed the source of D strength in the state But given the pattern, naive to think it was only coal and not race too — PolitiTweet.org
