F.O. RE 'hole in Chg". On this subject I know a sh*t load more than you do. I asked you when the last time WV voted Dem in a presidential, and you go off on me?
The Dem has no chance in WV in '16. Period.

The state has trended increasingly Republican in presidential elections; despite the earlier Democratic wins in presidential match-ups, it narrowly elected George W. Bush over Al Gore in 2000, then re-elected Bush by a much larger margin in 2004 and voted for John McCain in 2008 by a slightly larger margin than 2004.
West Virginia was one of only 5 states, the others being Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Tennessee, where McCain won by a larger margin in 2008 than George W. Bush in 2004.
Mitt Romney won the state in the 2012 presidential election with 62% of the vote, a significant improvement over McCain's 56% vote share in 2008 and the first time in modern American history that a Republican candidate for president won every county in the state .[2] [3]
In a poll conducted by Orion Strategies, 28% of respondents stated they would vote for a Democrat in the 2016 Presidential Election compared to 52% who said they would vote for a Republican candidate.[8]
