White working class & Obama

Obama won in states that have "working-class whites" until it came to PA, Indiana, KY. I believe that the problem in these states is a racism that is just under the surface and not spoken of. On the network news on the day of the PA primary, they had small excerpts of interveiws with voters; one man said this very thing. I have not heard any "talking head" mention this as a factor.
