Either you just make this stuff up as you go along or reality escapes YOU. Where do you get the notion that West Virginia is a blue state? West Virgina was won by Romney in 2012; McCain in 2008; Bush won it in 2004 and 2000. One has to go back to 1996 to see a Democratic win it in a presidential election. In other words, no Democratic Presidential candidate won West Virginia in 16 years. To assert that Obama lost it in 2012 due to "his attacks on the coal industry," is mere projection.
You are amazing, simply a liberal who cannot admit when wrong
Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller, both Democrats, hold West Virginia's U.S. Senate seats.[3] One of three seats in the United States House of Representatives is occupied by Democrat Nick Rahall;[4] the other two are taken by Republicans David McKinley and Shelley Moore Capito. Democrats also maintain strong positions in the state legislature and most local and state offices. West Virginia also has a very strong tradition of union membership. While Democratic politicians hold most statewide offices and control both houses of the state legislature, Republicans have made major gains at the state and federal level in recent years.
What is it about liberalism that creates people like you? I guess 25% support for Obama in a state with Two Democrat Senators and a Democrat State legislature is to be ignored?
