Monday Linkfest: West Virginia Democrats Move Away From Obama
Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Obama and John McCain in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.
“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.
OK, Obama is not a Muslim and his wife is not an atheist. But, he sure seems to like the extremist Muslim way of life, and his wife sure doesn’t seem to like the country her husband is running to lead.
No Democrat has been elected to the White House without carrying West Virginia since 1916, yet Mr Obama appears to have little chance of winning there in November. Recent opinion polls indicate that Mrs Clinton would narrowly beat Mr McCain in the state but Mr Obama would lose by nearly 20 percentage points.
The rest of the story seems to be about how racist and stupid the people of West Virginia are, nothing unusual from the Credentialed Media, but, inadvertently, the Financial Times highlights that Obama is not a uniter.
