Nobody ever mentions WV, but just for the record Romney will take WV in a landslide. Practically everybody in the state is a Tea Party member.
Coal gets the headlines but guns are the make or break issue in WV. It cost Gore critical EVs in 2000 and all subsequent national races will follow the pattern.
If only it translates downballot. IIRC, the GOP hasn’t won the WV legislature since 1929 (back when it was a heavily GOP state, before FDR and the UMW turned it into a stagnant and corrupt Democrat backwater). Be nice to turn out the all-Democrat statewide bench and take Rahall and Manchin’s seats, too.
