4. Good news, maybe

We were told that the O-man had no chance in WVA. It's still a reach, but maybe do-able, unless a lot of those poll respondents for Obama are "Bradley Effect" voters.

6. I thought he had a chance there from the start

But only when Obama opened up the lead I expected. So this is better than I thought.

5. That's because

us West Virginians can't decide which we hate more, a black president or a woman VP. Trust me, the majority of people in this state are screwed up. No offense to those who aren't.

7. Wow...how ironic that WV is that close, given

the way Obama got blown out of WV during the primaries. Go figure. But it's encouraging.

8. He should send Schweitzer to West Virginia to talk about clean coal development.

9. When your campaign has over a dozen campaign offices in such a small state

you make it competitive.

The Obama camp didn't put those campaign field offices there for nothing - they were bypassing the primary for them to concentrate on the general election GOTV.
