The National Journal<\/a>\u00a0reported yesterday that West Virginia<\/a> Senator Joe Manchin, Representative Nick Rahall and Governor Earl Ray Tomblin will not be part of the West Virginia delegation to the Democrat Convention<\/a> in Charlotte in September.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

“I intend to spend this fall focused on the people of West Virginia, whether that’s representing them in my official U.S. Senate duties or here at home, where I can hear about their concerns and ideas to solve the problems of this great nation,” Manchin said in a statement. “I will remain focused on bringing people together for the next generation, not the next election.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Obama’s<\/a> policies toward coal are very damaging to West Virginia, which has an economy based on coal production.<\/p>\n

As Breitbart.com<\/a> reported earlier this month:<\/p>\n

President Obama wants to steer electricity generation away from coal to natural gas<\/a>. The only problem with that is our system is set up for coal, coal is abundant and coal is easier to get. While the market may naturally gravitate to natural gas as it becomes easier to get through fracking, something the Left has demonized and is fighting, we\u2019re not there yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a definite threat to the economy of West Virginia<\/a>, and the leaders of West Virginia are correct in taking that threat seriously. Part of their responsibility as state officials is to protect the welfare of their state. It is totally understandable that the leaders of West Virginia will not be at the Democrat Conventions. It is also interesting to read the comments at the bottom of the article at the National Journal. It is also a good idea when you read comments on news articles that campaigns have people whose only job is to comment on articles that mention some aspect of the campaign.<\/p>\n
