So, I was just looking at CNN and there was a "ticker" entry about West Virginia's primary next week. It shows that West Virginia voters favor Hillary 66% to Obama 22%. Hmmmm.

So, I'm interested to know - just wahat is it that makes West Virginia so different fromt the rest of the country?

You wouldn't understand if I wrote a 50,000 word thesis on the subject.

Call it a 3rd World Syndrome and let it go at that. I gave you 2 points for asking the question.

I would not say West Virginia is different from the rest!!!!! I would say that they know what they want, and what they don't want!!!!!

x1x: Good observation...2 points for you I would add that Wv's know that Election Day is the biggest parade of freaks that we will see..cyclic...comes around about every 30 years...we have seen this before...Nixon...Carter...

My prediction about Mr. Obama's presidency...will mirror Jimmy Carter. Why?...socialist culture and views will make them the darlings of the mainstream media...
remember all that hype about no wine in the white house and religion...then the brother who peed on the airport fence...

I wish Mr. Obama luck..it will take a lot of it...My wish is that his luck is commesurate to his luck.

When a person is unqualified to lead and a counrty is in such turmoil the only big winner is business....remember the oil profits when gas was rationed?
Ran the cost up on everything..we are in that cycle again and are at their mercy...the fact..business has no mercy...its always about the dollar/money.

What makes West Virginia so different?
Chardonnay is not the chosen drink of West Virginia. Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for ramps? And West Virginians are bitter, ask anybody who's ever tasted one.

Well, if you've been watching the news as much as you say you have, and been using your critical thinking skills. You would have noticed that it doesn't make WV different. It makes WV fall into the same category as about 50% of the rest of the US population.

Thank god I might add, I'm glad it appears WV is going to make a good decision about who to elect as next president.

Clinton does well with middle and lower class whites, while the "elite" usually go for Obama. That should tell you something is wrong. It also proves West Virginians aren't as impressionable as some of the other states. I'm so sick of the news media. They have tried to shut Hillary down multiple times and failed every time, and their propaganda hasn't swayed the minds of the voters in WV, even though it has fooled a few delegates, i.e. Nick Rahall, Jay Rockafellar

I expect Manchin is going to endorse Clinton after Tuesdays election
