The Daily Show with Jon Stewart brought their unique brand of political satire to the Mountain State for Wednesday night's show.
Unfortunately, West Virginians didn't come across very well, but I don't think we have anyone to blame but ourselves. The worst comments came from our own citizens saying ignorant things and displaying their prejudice in a very disappointing manner.

There's been a lot of discussion recently about why Clinton is polling so well in the Appalachian in general and West Virginia specifically. I'm of the opinion that it has little to do with Hillary's gender or Obama's race and far more to do with the demographics of the Democratic party electorate each candidate has built their campaign coalition around.
