Be interesting to see the turnout. There are a whole bunch of bitter religious gun owners around here.

Obama needs Virginia, and he's already starting to work at it. The most liberal person in the Senate, more liberal than my Senator, Sherrod Brown whom Bill O’Reilly has said is a “left wing nut.” It should be, “God help America,” not “God damn America.” Unbelievable.

It seems to me that Obama is still trying to prove he can carry States. Which explains his visit to this part of the country. In other words, he’s still campaigning for the nomination, not the Presidency.

Note: Middle of the work week for us bitter ones. And get your tickets from the UMW union hall. Wonder how much coal won’t get mined tomorrow?
