What this fails to mention that, with the exception of MA, WV was the most Democratic state in the country until 2000. It went for Carter twice, Dukakis and Clinton twice. If Al Gore had won WV, as history predicted he should, he would have been President. It was Al Gore’s anti-gun policies that cost the Democrats WV and now Hillary solidifies this.

Thank you for saying it before me.

Coal gets the headlines but any conversation with any West Virginian in any county will elicit ‘guns’ as the first and last election issue.

The MSM keep feigning surprise (or maybe it isn’t surprise) at the Republican hold on WV in presidential politics but we both know the reason why.

My only fear is that that DC lefty bureaucrats are subsuming the Eastern Panhandle and may tip the balance due to the rest of the state’s declining population.

Good Point...
