Re: Obama wants more rural broadband thru USF fees said by ifarrell:Except 90% of WV hate Obama. When I was in SW WV a few weeks ago, I was surprised to see a good handful of Obama signs and few McCain signs. I'm guessing that the ratio was 4 or 5 to 1. Coal mining is still king there; ads recruiting coal miners were all over local radio. These areas appear to me to be somewhat economically depressed on the whole; lots of abandoned, crumbling houses, infrastructure in need of some TLC, abandoned businesses, rural blight, etc. Maybe in Morgantown or Huntington anti-Obama sentiment exists, but I didn't see any evidence of it there or anywhere else I was in WV. |
