I picked West Virginia because It has more of a History of voting for Democrats than
South Carolana.Personally I think both will be out of reach.Blacks will vote for Obama In
South Carolana but It doesn't have the factors that put NC In reach In 2008.
SC is one third black, has one of the fastest growing Hispanic populations, and a increasing Northern transplant population (Im actually planning a move to Charleston Myself) West Virginia is 97% White, and overwelmingly Rural. Obama will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever flip WV even if he parts water, and cures the blind by touching them.
Pretty much sums it up. Charleston moved to a solid blue county last election, and we nearly elected a lesbian as our congresswoman (Brown won by 3% or so in SC-1). The trends are pointing to SC being a competitive state as soon as 2012. West Virginia has trended right since 2000. Just because they have a history of voting Democrat doesn't mean anything. Look at Vermont in 1992. Just because they had a history of voting Republican meant nothing. They haven't voted GOP since despite still retaining a Republican governor.
