“I think that just about doubles the population of Bristol...”
OK - I’m a native of SW Virginia and I used to work just outside of Bristol. While we ain’t New York, the area is pretty thickly settled. I’m really not surprised by the reaction to Obama and a lot of his agenda. While they have gone Democrat around here at times, especially in the coalfields, most of the folks are pretty traditional. A lot of the far left stuff just ain’t gonna play well here - especially Gun control, not to mention abortion and gay rights. I have been gone from the area for many years, but my wife and I still have family there and we return as often as possible. I haven’t noticed that SW Va. suddenly turned into Massachusetts while I was away. I also believe the Dems are going to fail miserably trying to get most of these “traditionalist” Democrats to go along with their programs.-—JM
I’ve driven through often on my way to visit family in SE KY. Just teasin’!
