re: #364 Sir John Barron

Yeah, it’s pretty weird. Dems have become more environmental in past decades, which has probably hurt them in places like WV.

That and I think the rise in cultural issues being a big decider in votes. I believe Gore’s loss in WV which looks tiny compared to Kerry and Obama’s was attributed to guns. Abortion I believe pushed one of my own great aunts to vote for W over Kerry which stumped my grandmother since her sister had voted for pro-choice Dems before and she’s actually voting for HRC this year.
