I am sure you know that is a completely silly comparison.
West Virginia delivered 56% of its vote to John McCain for President in 2008. Delaware on the other hand gave 61.9% of its votes to Barrack Obama for President in 2008. WVA is a state trending more and more Republican, Delaware is a far left state and getting worse by the election cycle.
When was the last time WV elected a GOP senator? I don’t recall any in my lifetime. Do you?
What is the percentage of Dems to Republicans in WV? (Hint: They outnumber republicans 2 to 1). That hasn’t changed.
The GOP candidate Raese could not be lamer. He’s not likeable. He doesn’t relate well to the people of the state. He has a proven track record of losing. He is a millionaire that lives out of state. His company is not well liked as it has made millions off of the government in questionable highway contracts. He is the guy that the party consistently puts up when nobody else runs. Any other year, he would not stand a chance.
And no, 56% did not vote for John McCain in 08. I never met anyone that had a use for him. Not one person. That 56% voted for Sarah.
So I really don’t see how supporting COD is such a silly idea. Sounds to me like they are scared that people are more interested in supporting tea party folks than their hand picked establishment candidates.
“Delaware on the other hand gave 61.9% of its votes to Barrack Obama for President in 2008.”
Come on. Biden was on the ticket as a favorite son. Reagan won DE three times. How do you explain that if it is so liberal? Why has it changed from being so conservative.
DE is more conservative than liberal by about 2-1 according to Gallup.
