Why such an enormous difference in votes in West Virginia ?One would expect similar proportions in all the states.What is particular about West-Virginia in that regard ?You'll hardly find even a remote hint at the possible explanation .Are we to believe virginians are a different breed of people,or does the explanation reside in the particular economical situation there .
Not one wordin the main press .Why?

there aren't as many African American's in W. Va.States that have a huge
black vote he carries.Back to that old race issue.

It isn't just that, at the start of this campaign the press simply was not doing it's job. (It still isn't but what's new) From the onset the narrative being sold looked more like a coronation for obama then a proper investigation in to who this man is.

It had to come out in dribbles who Obama is and what he has stood for. The bribes and kickbacks from Tony Rezko. His bigot, white hating, America hating pastor who was his spiritual mentor for 20+years. His shoddy record in the state senate with voting 'present' on important issues. His vote changing. His America hating, grievance collecting charity case wife. His association with flag stomping, bomb planting terrorists. His association with Palestinian terrorists. His 'most liberal senator' status from the National Journal, his effort to sign American sovereignty over to the UN... on and on and on...

The more people are getting a look at him the less they like what there is to see.
