You people in W.VA. what’s your take on this election?

[Patrick1]

Same spread with 31% of the vote counted.

Bob Henry Baber, Mnt

I was curious what a "Mnt" was. It is the WV Green party. Looks like Bobby Henry Baber is a Commie Pinko.

Hard to believe.

[Raider Sam]

What is the Mnt party?

[Roccus]

Supposedly the Republican Governors Assoc. pumped $2 million into this race. If I were them, I’d demand an accounting from the WV GOP....it is a place where money vanishes.

[GeronL]

Mnt?

[JosephMama]

Hey does anyone know what the Mnt party abbreviation is for the third candidate, Bob?

The Dem/union machine in WVA is just too strong for Republicans to overcome in a low turnout election.

Near 50% of the vote in and we are down 5% from what I see. Hope we can overcome the deficit, but I doubt it.

[Roccus]

You people in W.VA. what’s your take on this election?

Tomblin will win. WV GOP is a cesspool of back benchers more than happy to take any crumbs the RATS send their way.

[BenKenobi]

What’s up with Logan County?

McCain won this 54-45, and it’s almost 90 percent for the Dim here.

Almost all of the deficit is in Logan.

The dem dominance of this state must be related to the larger cities. When I visit the Berkley Springs, Cacapon, and other small mid state more southern towns, I see salt of the earth hard working folks. WV so very beautiful. Could it be that a few bridges and welfare checks are worth selling one’s soul to the devil?
