This is an excellent move. Despite those who claimed he should write off Appalachia, he has a real chance of making inroads here once people become familiar with him and not the lies being spread about him.
Now we need to get him in Bluefield and Beckley, Charleston, Parkersburg, Wheeling, Morgantown, and Martinsburg.
UPDATE:
I just want to point out that the first place Obama is coming as part of the general election campaign is Appalachia. Some have said Obama should write off Appalachia. Instead the first place he's coming to is our region. That says a lot about him. I've consistently said he should come here and people would like him once they got familiar with him. But in any event he should still a line from Ronald Reagan and say that while many in Appalachia might not be for him as president, he would be a president for them.
I truly believe he will be. |
