West Virginia Democrats Scared of their Own Shadows: Will Skip Convention

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

What a bunch of pussies.

I do know that Jay Rockefeller is still supporting Obama; he gave a great speech recently that I saw on C-SPAN on why coal regulations actually help the coal industry to reform and how they benefit West Virginians. Sad that nearly every politician is in Big Coal's pocket.

Why are Democrats suddenly pussying out? I know they all support Obama, and most people surely assume they're Obama supporters.

I strongly dislike the condescending attitudes that Democrats have towards poor whites (just like the attitudes of Republicans towards inner-city minorities). There's a reason why Republicans are non-existent in places like the Bronx and central Philly. Obama is the worst possible candidate for West Virginia, granted (at least he's not a gay atheist too )

The one thing Obama has going for him in West Virginia is that they hate Romney too.

That's a factor. The fact that the Democratic Party has snubbed the poor and working-class (both whites and non-whites) in favor of wealthy donors who want neoliberal economic policy and care more about same-sex marriage than poverty is also a factor.

I'd like to, but that might scare away the Wall Street and Silicon Valley donors. It's a tough balancing act.

McCaskill's doesn't seem to be fully ideological; she's significantly to the left of the WV Democrats who are skipping (though still conservative-leaning). She needs to be campaigning as much as possible to win a tight race.
