Obama's 'war on coal' likely to give GOP edge in West Virginia

Just to set the record straight, cherry, West VA did NOT go for Obama in ‘08. John McCain won West VA by a margin of 55.6% to 42.5%. Now, I was pissed, big-time, when they sent Joe Manchin to the Senate over a good, Conservative Business man. But, WV did not go for Obama.

Sorry I jumped on you like that, but the incessant perpetuation of that lie here at FR really gets me POd.

I think I may be getting a little too old to be dealing with all the “brilliant minds” on this forum

You have ALREADY been proven w wrong, three times.

WV voted for the Republican candidate in 2000 (the winning margin that made the Bush presidency possible), then again in 2004 and 2008.

It is amazing how many otherwise intelligent people mindlessly repeat propaganda instead of spending 10 seconds looking for the truth.

2008 -- McCain 397, 366 is MORE THAN Obama 303,857

2004 -- Bush 423,778 is MORE THAN Kerry 326,541

2000 -- Bush 336,475 is MORE THAN Gore 295,497

Hattend apologized to the good people of WV.....waiting for you other 2 to do the same

Hattend made a mistake; I didn’t.

There are good people in WV as in every state.

But WV has an over-abundance of Unionized Useful Idiots.
