Check your history. You do realize West Virginia was a UNION state during the Civil War?

Stranger things have happened, but I wouldn't count on it.

I am an elitist because I went to college, but I really want the people who are from prosperous states running the country. They obviously are doing something right.

Ummmm, to be a little more accurate, the area that would eventually be known as WV was both Confederate and Union. And most of the people who lived there were fervent Independents--they wanted nothing to do with the war at all. WV became part of the Union during the war, on June 20, 1863--less than two years before the war ended. Which means it belonged to the Confederacy several years more than it belonged to the Union.

Not that it really matters, just thought you'd like to know.

Don't you live in Florida? You know, one of the states that OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTS Hillary? Noone cares about Puerto Rico? I thought the libs cared about everyone. You know, the conscietious party! (By the way we WILL still be drilling off the coast of Florida for oil!!)

What a pompous thing to say, I went to college and graduate scool and I don't consider myself an "elitist". It is a lot more than going to college. I don't think my opinion or views are any more significant than anyone elses.

Well, there goes your blue states. MI, CA, IL, NY,WA.

As far as I can tell, these are not well run by any stretch of the imagination.

So...you would vote McCain?
