Well race may be a issue, I think any state he loses the race card will come into play,
I always say Vote for the man or woman not the party, this time though all are about the same, I see no lesser of 3 evils here. obama can talk a good game but can he do the Job? Hillary will takes us to the left maybe a little to much to the left.
McCain he is all man a true American hero, but he maybe a little to much like bush jr..
I think it may not matter this time who we vote for, but in 4 more years who knows..
always hoping!!!! Oh and as for W.Va ,when America went to war with it self, only two states stood up and said NO W.Va was one of them, Got to give them points for that!!

o yea? i didn't know that..thanks...also WV was one of the first to accept John F Kennedy...the only thing i wish we hadn't done was name ourselves West Virginia..it gave off certain connotations...the onlly people i allow to make fun of my state are those who were born and raised here themselves..

i mean...we did get indoor plumbing last spring..sure saved us having to trip over those damn road kill animals in the middle of the night..hehe

Um, actually, no. The fight between the tidewater & piedmont large agricultural parts of the state and the mountains in the west of the state (the state being Virginia) had been going on for over a hundred years. WV, in fact, is the only state that was formed in spite of the Constitutional prohibition of forming a state from wholly within an existing state without the other state's permission. They did that by Congress temporarily recognizing a group of businessmen from Parkersburg as the (supposed) temporary government of Virginia, long enough for them to give permission for the formation of West Virginia. The only problem is, if those businessmen were the recognized government of Virginia, if only for a second, for that time, Virginia was not officially seceded anymore, and war against it was totally illegal. Congress conveniently overlooked that part.

Convenience as a substitute for statesmanship disgusts me, wherever it's found.
