It will be tough -- or it will seem like a surprise. The core of Democratic voting in West Virginia was unionized miners and workers in the chemical and glass industries. The coal jobs aren't returning.

West Virginia, even when it was a strong-union state, was culturally conservative. Nixon did better in West Virginia than nationwide, suggesting that McGovern was a horrible match for West Virginia culture.
