So is being a Democrat in Appalachia at this point
Ever hear of a place called Elliott County?
Ever hear of the complete decimation of Democratic officeholders from West Virginia to Tennessee? Just because there's one county that still supports Democrats (even though it barely voted for Obama over Romney in 2012) indicates one trend: it's moving to the Republicans. In 2000, Gore won the county by thirty points (despite Bush winning the state by 15), but in 2012, Obama won the county by three points (27% total drop in twelve years) while the margin for the Republican margin in Kentucky only increased by 8%.
Bandit, shhhhhhh.....
Ah, poor Natalie Tennant. You were apparently a strong candidate according to the WV dems, but you can't even win a county.
