Any News From Today's West Virginia Special Election For Governor?
10-4-11 | TCRLAF

Got to admit, I didn't even know it was happening until this weekend.

And I'm seeing tons of tweets from RockTheVote, CollegeDemocrats, etc., all the usual Dem suspects about it, but none from our side...

I voted early and was the only non-poll worker there. I have my fingers crossed. The Blue Ridge Tea Party is active and involved.

I spent 5 years auditing campaign funds. I never saw an instance of Dems being better organized. Saw some looting, illegal contributions and really messed up books!

Still heard almost nothing about this race on the news. Seems like not many people are paying attention to it. I'm hoping people cast a protest vote against Obama, but my hunch is there are just too many registered Democrats in West Virginia to win in a low turnout election.

I live in southern WV. Hubby and I were the only voters in the building. In and out in a flash. I voted for Maloney of course, but hubby went for the Mountain Party candidate.

Those West Va hillbillies can’t get enough free sh&^. I’m not getting my hopes up.————

Wow sounds bigoted to me.

You left out the word, -some.

SOME of those West Va (WV)...

Now, SOME of those PROUD WV hillbillies a.k.a sonofbitches, we do work...

Most on my street don’t. as for me and My household, we do.

Oh, and you don’t have to call em ‘hillbillies’, you could be politically correct and call em ‘Appalachian Americans’...
