Didn't mean to upset you, and didn't think I made the people sound ignorant. I understand the caucuses there now. If you think Alaska isn't a state usually looked over you're wrong. We're lucky to have a temporary campaign office set up long enough for the primary to end. :) Like I said, I apologize for my gruff attack against WV in particular.

Or any other candidate. West Virginia is a state most forget about and don't spend time in- they campaign in the larger states where they can gain the most. Perhaps the reason not one delegate voted for Ron Paul is because well, they didn't feel he represented what they wanted in a President- just as in any other state-they choose whom they feel would do the best job for them. It upsets me when I see others discuss West Virginia in a light that makes its people sound ignorant, which is how the post came across for those who did not know the "primary" wasn't a normal voting period for all registered voters. <em>Beth's last blog post..<a href='http://afrogtokiss.net/2008/02/05/hair-color-update-we-dont-know-what-color-it-is/' rel="nofollow">Hair Color Update: We Don't Know What Color It Is.</a></em> Only one county had 2 votes for McCain as well but that doesn’t mean the “people” wouldn’t vote for him.

Delegates are people. And not one voted for Paul. http://www.wvgopconvention.com/delegate/contentview.asp?c=42045 Instructions and information on becoming a delegate in West Virginia for the Republican Party. http://www.wvgopconvention.com/content/img/f42045/Delegate_Distribution.pdf Delegates divided by county. http://www.ronpaul2008.com/states/west-virginia/ Specific instructions for West Virginia and becoming a delegate for Ron Paul. Sorry to pick on West Virginia. I love your state, love the Thomas area, the Purple Fiddle (http://www.purplefiddle.com/). Have pictures on my flickr site... but I'm still flabbergasted. I stand corrected though, I didn't realize it wasn't a normal primary. I was just really pissed off when I wrote this last night, and didn't research the details properly, so thanks for correcting me. I stand humbly corrected on that. Still, the delegates are supposed to represent "the people" right? Otherwise you could just have 1000 delegates for "Mr. X" and no other candidate would stand a chance. Doesn't seem very "democratic". Sorry, last time I checked. Delegates are people.

And not one voted for Paul.

Only 1,207 party members were eligible to vote at the state convention- of which just over 1000 attended. These were delegates- not the "people" of West Virginia. So before you go off on a rant about why "we" didn't vote- check your facts. This was a caucus of the Republican delegates, not a normal election primary. <em>Beth's last blog post..<a href='http://afrogtokiss.net/2008/02/05/hair-color-update-we-dont-know-what-color-it-is/' rel="nofollow">Hair Color Update: We Don't Know What Color It Is.</a></em> Thanks for using the state in which I live as an example for your incorrect information.
