This really makes me sad. I always figured the anti Obama wave in WV was real, but I didn't realize how strong it is. It's really depressing to see counties like Boone vote so strongly for Romney, even after voting Obama in 2008.
I think the new emergent Democratic coalition is awesome. It's great to see progressives, young people, minorities, LGBT folks and single women come together and form this great coalition. But at the same time it's sad to see the people in West Virginia feel left out of it, like the party left them. And maybe we did in some ways. But the Democratic party still fights for coal miners in Boone county, even if they don't want to believe it. It's like an official break up
