...coal miners are livid at Obama. There are quotes from coal miners. It kind of breaks my heart a little bit. They're talking about how Obama's actually putting them out of business. And I'm thinking, I told you guys this during 2008's campaign. Obama said he was gonna put the coal business out of business. And he's doing it. He promised to do it. He said, (paraphrasing) "You can start a coal-fired plant if you want to but you're gonna go bankrupt with my regulations." So Pennsylvania's a coal state, big coal state. Ohio is as well. Of course, West Virginia is a coal state. Colorado is a coal state. Colorado coal miners are up in arms.

Hard not to stereotype here.....I heard this part of Rush's program today and muttered all the while: In 2008, O'Biden outright promised to put coal out of business, yet carried coal states.... Now these states are "livid"?... are coal folks stupid, stubborn, naive, what??? Is it a case, as in so many states including mine, that the urban liberal vote overwhelms the "normal" people?

In any case, despite all the breathlessness, I'll believe PA goes Romney when I see it.

All Romney has to do is saturate the OH and PA with the video, unedited, of Obama’s promise to bankrupt the coal industry, and conclude it with “I’m Mitt Romney, and I disapprove this message”....
