I think the argument always has been that while Clinton wins the more 'traditional Democrat' areas (union, working class) Obama wins the more moderate groups (oddly since he's the more liberal candidate in theory?) and the young 'need a change' folks, who:
a) Don't exist in Kentucky
b) More likely wouldn't vote democrat (or wouldn't vote at all) if not for him.

California is the one that confuses me the most... maybe I just don't understand that state, but I would've thought he'd win that state, or at least do better, hispanic vote or no...
