[quote=Anonymous]I spend a fair amount of time in WV. I have had friendly conversations with people about our very differing political views. I have not seen a lot of blacks, but those I have seen appeared perfectly comfortable being there. Historically, WV was strongly Democratic. Their primary was the one that proved that Jack Kennedy could win Protestant votes. Byrd, as their Senator, moved leftward over the years, and they kept re-electing him, and they elected Jay Rockefeller for years. But nowadays a Dem like Manchin has to be at the rightward end of his party to win an election. The legislature has recently swung from Dem to strongly GOP, and Republican Shelley Moore Capito easily won the election to succeed Rockefeller. But I think the most important thing to remember is that it is a sprawling state that has a lot of variation, and care should be taken in making generalizations.[/quote]
