1. Judging by their great economic status...
I can certainly understand why they would vote for Bushco. Duh.

2. From a caller to Air America.
A lawyer from West Virginia with family in mining stated that Bushco spread fear among miners by saying environmentalists would ban coal. Once again, fear is the tactic of choice. State has only voted GOP for President two other times in last 100 years.

4. We've got to counterattack the FEAR...
It's crippling the country.

Peace.

3. Learned a Lesson?
Hopefully they learned their lesson, but Rove is very adept at getting people to vote against their own best interests by using fear. I hate to think what he will have to do in 2006 and 2008 to pull it off again.
