Thankfully, WV is only worth a few EVs. There are too many issues working against the Dem party in this state to think that anyone could make it close. The oft-mentioned war on coal to social issues like hunting will hurt Dems here for the foreseeable future.
The only question is, could a Southerner make it really close or even bring it back into the fold, as in a southern Dem? I doubt it. It's that odd mix of blue collar conservative that sees a rich, privileged person running for President and says, "Maybe that person could do for me what he did for himself." Which is a powerful idea in hunting, rural, working class cultures. And there are others who think a majority of wealthy people actually worked for it, and deserve their huge tax cut at the expense of society, education, etc.
