Heavy Hitters!

Virginia's election, by counties. Click on a county to see the %ages. Look at the sea of beautiful red. The blue specks? Majority black rural counties in Virginia's Southside, disfunctional cities, some of DC limosine liberal suburbs, and two unpopulated non-coal mountain counties that are beyond the reach of TV and vote like its is 1865.

But let the WV GOP learn. Look at that red coal and timber country. Giles 64%, Bland 76%, Tazewell 74%, Buchanan 64%, Russell 64%, Grayson 71%, Wise 71%, Scott 79%, etc.

In the face of millions of spending by the UMWA telling the lie that you can be a democrat and a friend of coal.

This is how you win. One mesage, all the time. If your living depends on coal or timber, you are a Republican. That simple.
