Can Obama win white vote in Mountain State?

In the U.S., ahead of the West Virginia primaries, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are talking more about "clean coal" and less about global warming. They are wooing voters in the state which is the core of America's coal industry. The state is predominately white, which means an easy is expected for Hillary Clinton. Obama's supporters say many white voters are simply not ready to go for a black candidate.

The reason why many people who are poor, at least in the state of West Virginia, where so reluctant about voting for someone who's political stand point is towards " redistributing the wealth" is because the citizens of West Virginia have been historically "short sticked" (or recieving the short end of the stick in a situation) in nearly all government programs and polices. You don't live here, so you don't know. Also, the media torward WV is very bias.

Drake2919...... shut the fuck up. you don't live here, so you don"t know. I don't know you, but you probabily are the type who lives in their own personal bubble, caught up in propaganda and conspiracy theroies but has very little "real world" experiance besides that of your confort zone. All I am going to say is, learn about who you are going to talk about before you talk about them.

@SchreiFurMich1 He's not a Muslim. The only reason you think he's a Muslim is because he's black. So yes, it is because he's black.

So , from this reportage we learnt that :

1) WV is a shithole

2) People in WV are racist inbreds.

@SchreiFurMich1

sigh....you're just adding to the stereotype of west virginians you ignorant fool. Since when does religionhave anythng to do with being president. seperation of church and state, have you heard of that? I guess not. From you saying cause he's muslim he shouldn't be president, is one of the most ignorant dumbassstatements ive ever heard...unfortuntely that shows youprobably are a redneck and a racist. BTW obama is as muslim as you are educated...

[SchreiFurMich1]

Im from Wet Virginia. I disagree with Obama being President, bot because he's black but because he is a "Muslim" We are a poor state but, money to most of us is nothing.. We know everybody and work together.. I'm not a redneck or racist.. But, there are some things Obama can not do for us.. The media should leave our state alone. We are not the ghetto.. Some people are so ignorant..

West Virginia Forever, will be my home..

[godscuttingyoudown]

i don't know whites are scared of Obama; he gave billions in bail outs to white corporate goombas not one cent went to the black community

[LUVJONZ99]

After all the years of "non-black" presidents, West Virginia is still poor............and WV was poor before Obama........

[Atheist2006]
