Some attribute to west Virginia's vicious swing away from the Democrats a result of the collapse of the coal industry.  This was largely caused by the advent of fracking- a cheaper way to obtain natural gas.

So if fracking was developed earlier, say 2005... would Republicans faced the backlash for the downturn in West Virginia?  How would West Virginia vote in later elections?

Reading the 3012 boards dulls one's sense of irony.

Seriously. How many times can we read about the Obamachine 3000 pulling ahead of the Reagantronix QLZ in the race for Mars Mutant Colony's 48 electoral votes? Sheesh!
