No Democrat has been elected to the White House without carrying West Virginia since 1916… — CHS

The one thing that I think makes this no longer inevitable is the change in the electoral map (if that’s what it’s called). For example, there are states that are leaning Democratic, the mountain states like Colorado. The west is becoming a new flank for the Democratic party, thus, the convention in Denver.

The DFH were right about the importance of protecting the environment and out west they get it.

If we can find a way to keep government small-ish and the budget pretty much balanced, then we can also win a lot of Libertarian (former Republican) votes out West.

Then we’d have a Western Strategy to win a lot of national races we haven’t been competetive in for forever.

Does this have to do with some kind of Primary finance laws??
