Bernie wins West Virginia, Hillary wins East Virginia.

[JaneyVee]

Since they usually vote wildly different, which Virginia would you rather win in the General Election?

1. I thought we weren't supposed to discount states based on their GE expectations?

[JaneyVee]

3. Its a simple question with a simple answer.

[morningfog]

4. Indeed, the answer is all states matter, all votes matter.

[JaneyVee]

6. I thought Bernie fans told us southern red states dont matter?

[morningfog]

8. If you are dense and don't do nuance.

All states and voters matter for the primary. If you evaluating a candidate's strength in the GE< considering how the state votes in the fall can add to that analysis.

[JaneyVee]

10. Not necessarily. Advertising works, GOTV drives work, Hillary did none of that in WVA.

2. I live close to WV. I wish I didn't. nt

[JaneyVee]

5. WV is a beautiful state though.

[LexVegas]

7. Some parts are. nt

[leeroysphitz]

9. No, now it's an ugly, hateful state and nobody who counts lives there.

Or so I've recently been told.

[Iliyah]

12. Oh please

[George II]

11. Inasmuch as "East" Virginia has almost 3 times the Electoral votes, that's the one for me.

[JaneyVee]

13. East Virginia is a must win.

[George II]

14. Clinton will wind up with at least 100 more electoral votes than Trump, maybe more.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. Of course 'East Virginia' is just Virginia, West Virgina became a State in the Union when it

seceded from the Confederate State of Virginia in 1863....

17. East Virginia... Damn those cuts to education.

[dgibby]

18. I have transcripts

of letters written by my maternal g.grandparents to each other when he was serving in the Union Army and she was running the farm and raising the children (all 13 of them!). Needless to say, they were thrilled when WV became a state.

[TheBlackAdder]

16. Virginia, since E. Virginia is not a state. DC politicos and Military Industrial Complex influence.
