Wow....if we win West Virginia....that would be a major blow to the pukes. Hopefully this is going to be yet another formerly strong red state they have to work hard and pour $$$ in to DEFEND.

3. How quickly we forget. West Virginia was a reliably blue state for nearly a century
before the 2000 election. It voted for Bush twice but it should be remembered that WV is still a dominantly Democratic state in registration and has a long, long history as a Democratic stronghold voting DEM in every election since 1928 except for two: the Nixon and Reagan re-election wipe-outs. WV was one of the few states that voted Dem in 1968 and in 1988, for example.

4. You speak truth, featherman!
To put your point slightly differently, before president moron, the only times since 1928 that West Virginia went republican (1972 & 1984), they already had 48 other states to go with it!

The sad thing is, if we'd have been able to hold it in 2000, we'd be bidding President Gore a happy farewell and happy retirement today. SIGH!

PEACE!

7. We win WV, Obama wins in a BLOW OUT nationally
26 days to go --- lets just hope Obama keeps this amazing momentum going!
