WV is now officially dead for Democrats

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The Democrats will gain some ground in WV-02, compensated for by loses in WV-03 and will remain 60-40 Republican. It is the pattern we have seen in many Southern states. GOP start out in the most metropolitcan area, take over rural area, dominate rural area nd GOP support declines in the metro area. The problem for WV is that its populatin is not growing like the others in question and thus unless its cities gets bigger, there isn't much hope for the "new majority in cities and suburbs come 2022 crowd". Only with an embrace of the Snowstalker aproach would something different than that possibly transpire.

It is not just about running candidates. Your party has to define itself as the party of the poor people first as the number one priority. As long as the national party is defining itself on social issues and such forth you can run Zell Miller and still lose in WV and similar places.

No, running as the party of poor people is the worst possible strategy. Nobody likes poor people or want to be associated with them. The Democrats need to position themselves as the party of the "middle class."

Then you don't say poor, you say working class.
