Oprah Clinton needs to step aside. Sorry, the White House vacany has been pared down to two candidates and not even the likes of wonder woman can save her. Maybe she can get a talk show to air right after Tyra on 9.
KEVK, you must be a complete idiot to think that WV doesnt matter. Or do you always speak for everyone else?? WV is a beautiful state, with great people, natural resources, low crime rates (except for the drugs being brought in from Detriot). We have all the same utilities as everyone else, cell phones etc. So before you speak about something or someone, do some research. We are all Americans, regardless of color or religion. You're just a JERK. And I am probably speaking for alot of people.

KWV, We just ignore people and posts like that - they are too ignorant to be of concern. Heck, we even encourage people like that to think of WV in a negative light - keeps people like that out of our state.
We're like the Little Engine That Could - we just keep chugging along, the fancy new cars laugh as they pass us, but when they fall they fall big and we just keep on chugging along.
Why do I say that? Believe it or not, WV led the nation in economic growth from May to Aug. We are not experiencing the mortage crisis, in fact, Charleston has had 7% growth this year. WV has 2 cities listed in CNN/CareerBuilder.com Best Cities to Find a Job (Morgantown is #5, Chas is #13). While the country for months has been bemoaning the unemployment rate, ours has consistently been significantly lower than the national average. For Nov, we had the 9th lowest in the nation. Nov was higher than it had been partly due to the natural occurance of seasonal layoffs such as in construction.
So I'm sure people can find all kind of bad things to say about our state, find bad stats, whatever. We know who we are and what it's all about. I grew up in one of those states where people like to make fun of WV. Trust me, I would much rather be living in this wonderful state with the fantastic people.

Honestly speaking, why would even bring up a post that is OVER 6 MONTHS old?? I mean it is about Hillary vs Obama! We are a bit past that point now you know. Gawd dial up must be REALLY slow out there in West Virginia!!
