63AMG Hillary won your state by a 60/40 margin, she also managed strong wins in other NE states as well as California. Are these areas "backwards sesspools of lost causes" as well?

Well, I'm disgusted with Obama, McCain and Clinton.. I'm glad that Ru Paul is running this year, he's got my vote. I want a President who can play basketball in stilletos and mean it.

McCain scares me...has done some very illogical things in the past 10-15 years...I feel as a President he would be a loose cannon...keeps coming back to the experience and that, sadly is Billary...baggage and all.
I dare her to sing 'God Bless America from the Capitol steps in the morning...ha ha ha.
hope her dweebs see this blog...

What does anyone expect? That's the only thing that can explain this because the overwhelming Hillary percentage as this is out of wack with other states.
"Those who can...do, those who can't... teach" and then there are those who can't do either.... and they write posts like this on city data!!!!

I saw him give speeches in NM & AZ that were spot on back in the day. The stuff you're worried about I wouldn't attribute to dimentia or flashback, but a response to being kicked in the teeth by his own party those years back. Why would he start waffling on his own long held beliefs of his career at this late date in his life, if not for being strong armed into it?
Either way you slice it, he's not the same guy he used to be, that we can agree. The true cause, in this moment, doesn't matter when so much is at stake.

See, now THIS is what cracks me up. They have to go to the most remote regions of the state and dig around for a sensationalist opinion. Even when they did finally find a group of people that know little of politics, among them is still an Obama supporter.

Just don't think WV gets singled out with those hack stereotypes- nyc housewives and california housewives series have nothing to do with the residents there. Jeff foxworthy is not the south, either (even if he does make me laugh).
Jerry springer sells, honest hard working people with ordinary lives don't. Let america ignore the crappioca dramas and the media will be forced to get their attention with real news.

From CNN this morning:
Clinton focuses on West Virginia; Obama, on future - CNN.com

Quote:
Bill Clinton won West Virginia in 1992 and 1996. George W. Bush took the state in 2000 and 2004. West Virginia used to be solidly Democratic, until 2000, when George W. Bush surprised everyone by winning the state. How did he do it? Social issues -- abortion, gays, and most important, guns -- in a state where more than 70 percent of the voters own a gun," Schneider said.
McCain will do well in WV.

Paul/Barr, Barr/Paul... I'll take either.

Take a look at this link regarding HR4279. Erosion of property rights is a big step in the direction of the societal gallows. BTW, Ron Paul voted against it. House Approves New Property Seizure Law

As for me, I want a President who has read, understands, and votes the Constitution- everytime, without exception. Why do we tolerate anything less? I think Ron Paul took 8 delegates in WV.
