Every time I have been to West Virginia (I've been through there 3 times), I have met very nice and welcoming people -- and they have a real pretty state with the mountains.

Let's be real here. As usual, 90% of each party's members will line up behind their nominee, whether happily or grudgingly, and vote for them in November. The other 10% may have various, personal reasons for not doing so. I expect Republicans to be more in line with their nominee than Dems, only because the Dems voting against Obama can shift to the GOP in the general, whereas the people voting against Romney in the primaries are to his right and have nowhere else to go. There are also more Democrats than Republicans, so that should be a wash. The independents will decide this. All the primaries last night were exceptionally low in terms of turnout, so anti-Romney Republicans and anti-Obama Democrats were overwhelmingly overrepresented in proportion to their actual numbers.

199,000 NC democrats didn't vote for obama. He won in 2008 by 14000.

You make it sound as if Romney is pulling votes from Ron Paul, instead of the media's take, that Paul is pulling votes from Romney.
