We actually DO NEED this one. W.Va. is a Democratic state. You don't give up on a state that has 60% Democratic registration and that held true blue even when Dixiecrats were peeling off the actually racist states, and that held for Carter in 1980 when he was getting only 49 EV nationwide, and that held for Dukakis in 1980 when he was getting only 111. These are our lost sheep and we need to bring them back into the fold.

You can't change the problems of Appalachia overnight. I think they might be able to be brought back into the fold by 2012 for Obama's re-election campaign. ;-)

Republican state. Yet the current occupant of the White House won in 2004 without it.

The definition of insanity is voting the same way and expecting a different result. I'm talking to you FL,OH, KY, WV!

while I don't think WV should be ignored, we have to look at what has happened since Clinton came into office. We also need IL, IA, WI, MN, CO, ME, NC, SC, AL, MS, and VA among others. Mr. Obama won those handily. Why don't they count?

... in the other states, and only run it in WV? WTF?
I think there are limits to arguing on the basis of 1980. Times have changed, and the electorate has moved on by a whole generation (28 years!) since then. Times have changed in other states, too. Trying to function as if everything is the same is a mistake. The future is not the same as the past, and now is not the same as then.
John McCain voted against health care for kids.
