"The whole experience question just feels like a stand-in for race, or maybe something else I'm missing."

Melinda,

Take a look at your comment. It doesn't matter if its a female business executive of South Asian extraction in Alexandria or a white male coal miner in West Virginia, the only explanation you can come up with for supporting Hillary Clinton is race or racism. It can't be experience. It can't be issues. If Hillary's a racist, what does that make the 18 million voters who chose her over Obama? Obviously, we must have been complicit. It was always so obvious.

I've been astounded at the absence of celebration on the part of Obama supporters and the obvious desire to continue the war against Hillary through to November. I must say the invitation to join your club isn't really that appealing.

If Obama doesn't know what he needs to say to bring Clinton supporters back, if he doesn't know how to spin a populist message to bring back those Americans that his own supporters despise, he doesn't stand a chance in November.

Your comment suggests to me that you don't know what to say either.
