Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia)

Rockefeller has money and a famous last name, and West Virginia has a strong history of voting Democratic. However, Bush ended up carrying the state in November, further adding to suspicions that West Virginia is emerging as more of a swing

In the case of Rockefeller, its a bunch of dirt poor West Virginians. My wife's family is from there. I've visited several times. To me, one of the telling examples of life there is that you cannot walk into the average convenience store in the small towns and find a magazine rack that sells even TIME or Newsweek magazine let alone anything conservative. The best you can do is car mags. Every other road, bridge, kid is named for KKK Byrd. West Virginia became a state because the people there did not own a lot of slaves and did not support slavery; and they did not want to pay taxes and send soldiers to the aristocratic state government in Richmond which gave them nothing in return. In modern times, every other citizen displays a rebel flag on their home or car. Almost all own guns, almost all believe in fundamental Christianity, almost all abhor special rights for africanhyphenamericans, antiheterosexuals, and other "victim groups". Because democrat trash like Byrd and Rockefeller bring home the federal pork, the people blindly vote for them.
