West Virginia is safely Red. They're registered Democrats but are culturally conservative.

Obama may be the best thing that every happened to the Republican party.

If we get 20% of Democrats to vote Republican this year, the spell has been broken. They’ve done it once, they can do it again. They no longer feel the habit of voting Democrat all the time.

West Virginia is still home to the Jacksonian Democrats, those descendants of Scots-Irish immigrants who vote God, country, and guns, and have a stronger than average distrust of government. They are white, lower middle-class union members who work hard, play by the rules, have faith in God and a hefty dose of patriotism.

So WV is filled with bitter people clinging to their guns and Bibles.

“The only section that has proven liberal Democratic is the eastern panhandle which is fast becoming a suburb of Washington, D.C.”

Is this author nuts? The Eastern Panhandle of WV is so “liberal Democratic” that it gave well over 60% of its vote to George W. Bush.

And why does the author assume that the nation is trending liberal Democrat in the first place? I’d expect such silliness from The New Republic, not The Weekly Standard.
