08/13/2008 | This used to be a pretty solid blue state, but the politics of coal have trumped the high influence of unions, and Obama has had a lot of trouble with Appalachian working class white voters. Clinton won with the biggest blow-out in the primaries, although Obama might have mitigated had he bothered to campaign there. I'd say this has become a safe McCain seat, the irony being that Virginia used to be more conservative than West Virginia.
