I'm not really sure what West Virginia Democrats are like these days. What percentage of them are leftovers from when it was a Democratic state, and what percentage of them are just normal liberals?
They have little in common with Massachusetts Democrats, they're pro-union dems who agree with the party on economic issues and are often socially conservative.
A lot of Massachusetts Democrats are pro-union dems who agree with the party on economic issues and are often socially conservative. Pretty standard positions for catholics.
