Interesting that these "gaffs" are coming out of the states Hillary won big in.

I recall footage during the primaries, reporter out in West Virginia doing the "man on the street" thing, asking folks why they were voting this way and that. A specific recollection, a middle-aged white woman voting for Hillary, "I cain't trust no black man" and another who was adamant, "I ain't voting for that Hussein." At the time, I was ticked off, CNN doing its best to find the typical *ignert* red-neck rural type to display the supposed inherent racism in WV -- now we've got the president of the AFL-CIO to do it for them.

I have great admiration for WV’s people,they ain’t dumb,they will vote Mccain I think.

57% McCain - 43% Obama this past weekend. This from our state Republican committee.

I think it’s interesting that the Obama camp apppears to be desperate to get WV’s FIVE electoral votes.

Didn't Biden also make an anti-coal comment? Murtha helps him lose PA and Biden helps him lose WV. LOL. With a team like that......

This country gets more and more bizarre by the day. None of these Obama boosters seem to have any sense of responsibility or care about what they say. We are really heading for a 1984 kind of World when politicos can say anything and get away with it.

We live in a society where nothing matters except winning.

“We live in a society where nothing matters except winning.”

THAT quote is what the Obama bumper stickers should REALLY say!

Here’s a brand new Obama tactic. Obama’s now referring to “the last 8 years of Bush-McCain economics...”

I wonder how this strategy of calling voters racists will work out for 0bama. It can’t work in his favor.

I would much rather have 4 more years of Bush-McCain economics than 4 years of Marx-Obama economics.

Probably for flooding that occurred in WV in the year (2001) in question. Perdue probably a property owner.

Rahall is the Congressman and his name is attached as he submitted the request (or simply because it’s in his district?)

Looking forward to the video link, Bio, so that I can send it to my local radio talk show host (who hosts an evening show on 630 WMAL).....

He’s gonna love this! Great catch!

Do you recall the exact time that this guy was on CNN? (3:50 or 3:55 pm ET)? Any idea?
