And the state remembers Obama saying “I’ll bankrupt coal.” It’s like when Rockefeller first ran for Governor and stated he was against strip mining...needless to say, he had to wait another four years before he decided strip mining wasn’t so bad.

John Raese is running for Senate in West Virginia. He's a successful businessman and a conservative, and would be a breath of fresh air in Washington.

samanella,
What part of W.Va. Ya from and what part of S.C. are ya at now?
Huntington and S,E, Fla now.

I was perplexed when the state went for obammy trusting he was going to support coal? Ya had to know he’d do his best to destroy the industry.
Wife and I are leaving to go play on the New River Monday.
