Opinion of West Virginia

Terrible, awful, no good. They showed their true colors in the 2012 Democratic primary.

Its only redeeming feature is that it isn't Oklahoma. At least there's some natural beauty.

Serious question: Why do you think Hillary Clinton won the NH Democratic primary in 2008? And don't tell me that Obama was too liberal for the state.

Probably for the same reason Bernie won Michigan: voters wanted the primary to go on and not have a coronation. NH on paper should've been a comfortable Obama win (like the polls showed), and vice versa for MI.

Had the media not crowned Obama as presumptive nominee (like if Edwards won Iowa, for instance) I bet Obama would've won it. NH loves to be contrarian.

And by the way, if NH is as sexist as you claim, Hillary would've done a lot better than 39% in 2008 and 38% in 2016. Shaheen also would've beaten Sununu in 2002. She also would not have underperformed Obama in 2008. Doris Haddock also would've not gotten crushed in such a massive landslide in 2004.

Terrible.

Hilarious how people here are so defensive over it, and not so much over similarly "unfortunate" states like Mississippi and Oklahoma.

West Virginia is the only state you can't insult here without a mob of angry people with pitchforks coming after you for your "elitism", bigotry", and "latte liberalism." lol. Funnily enough, this Atlas taboo just makes me want to insult it more.
