United Mine Workers site is against McCain.

Fact is, the UMW is and has been for years, run by socialists who don't give a rats ass about miners. It's no surprise to me thay are supporting another socialist.

Sorry, I thought you meant it woudln’t affect our state. Unfortunately our 3 electoral votes won’t count, and if he wins I am afraid he will retaliate against those states that do not vote for him.
