And republicans freed the slaves.

Don't you forget it.

QuoteBig deal.  Get over the Robert Byrd thing.

No.

Quote
Romney carried the state by 27% in 2012.  Nto what I call a "union deathgrip".  Or were there other factors at play? :ohnotehblacks:

Bush won the state in 2000 and 2004.  Anyway, national politics play differently than state politics.  And given that we're talking about some girl running for the WV House of Delegates, state politics is more relevant here.

Democrats have controlled the House of Delegates since 1930, largely due to the strength of the coal miner's union.  But the margin has decreased dramatically over the past few years.  In 1976 is was 91 Democrats to 9 Republicans.  Now it's 53 to 47.

But please, continue talking out of your ass about a neighboring state you know nothing about.

It sorta seems like it reflects the decline of coal mining.  See Spicey those environmentalists are good for something.

Fracking/natural gas also helped that along.

Somebody suggested she thought felons convicted of mass shootings should not be able to carry concealed miniature grenade launchers into police stations.  Fortunately she has no such anti-Constitutional views.
