8. Labor in WV is very organized. They have a good ground game.

In a low turnout election that makes a huge difference.

18. So, I'm guessing the bigger city results are coming in now?

What's your opinion about Tomblin support in the larger WV cities, kelly1mm?

[kelly1mm]

24. I am in MD but near the WV panhandle. My thoughts are yhat Martinsburg

will go R, along with big parts of the northern 1/3rd part of the state. Charleston/Huntington are really far from me but my understanding is that labor is strong there.

20. 80% in Tomblin (D) 50%, Maloney (R) 47%

21. This West Virginian cast a proud vote for Tomblin today...

I know Bill Maloney personally, and I can say without reservation that he is a fucking asshole.

If he wins, I will be absconding from WV most expeditiously.
