That’s amazing. I lived and worked in WV in the 80’s and it was the most virulently pro labor place I EVER lived...and I grew up in a union household in NJ.

All those unemployed coal miners have had it with the unions that took them for granted and rolled over for Obama and the environmental wackos and threw coal (and them) under the bus.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Sen. Joe Manchin (who’s a pretty canny ex-Gov.) change parties, if this measure passes, because his union support (and campaign contributions forcibly wrung from the rank and file) will dry up.

It was also one of only five states carried by Jimmy Carter in the Reagan 45 state landslide of 1980. ObaMao barely managed to crack 35% in 2012.

After years of job losses, raping and pillaging by unions, more than a few people are waking up. West Virginia is the poster boy for sometimes you can fix stupid.

Another interesting bit of West Virginia trivia is that it is only one of three states where ObaMao lost every single county in 2012. Who can name the other two?
