There's nothing more West Virginians hate than being called "hicks", "hillbillies" and "rednecks,
except...
When its "outsiders" doing the name calling. There is a long tradition of others making fun of West Virginians. When it happens it usually galvanizes people against the outside force. Let's hope this ad:
has the same effect.
I was born in West Virginia and came back after several years away. I've been embarrassed by the naked racism behind much of the hatred against Obama. Manchin is not my ideal candidate and, like everyone else here, is in the pocket of big-coal. But Raese is a putrid stinking pile of filth. A perpetual failed candidate.
Let's hope he fails again. If Manchin keeps hitting him like this, there still yet may be hope. I am a disaffected Democrat and changed my registration to independent. There was never any doubt that I was going to vote against Raese. But now I'm voting for Manchin. This seals the deal.
