And yes, raising a family in the shadow is .. interesting. Still, I know I won’t get certain “my child went to college and discovered …..” phone calls .. because the end results have been on display.

The Democratic party is a loose coalition of voting blocks that do not all agree eye to eye on some issues but manage to unite around a national ticket for president and VP.

Differences among Democrats have begun to grow around domestic energy production. Some private sector unions support developing it and therefore agree with Republicans on domestic energy plans.

Obama seem to be holding back domestic energy as are similar Democrats holding back mining in states. The war on coal affects Democrats as much as Republicans but it also is a targeted evil by almost as many active Democrats who want to shut coal mines.

In Virginia, PA, OH, IL, IN, WV, WI, MI throughout the US there is a divide among Democrats over coal. Most voters support coal if it helps a state grow jobs and is clean and cheap. But some voters are indifferent to war on coal or are actively involved in backing Obama EPA.These have clout.

In Wisconsin the anti mining (not coal ), Democrats with help from one Republican killed a mining bill that lost some supportive union workers who then turned on the majority that killed the mine bill. Environmentalists threatened five Democrats into voting against the bill.

In Pittsburg there are grounds to think all the once employed steel workers would vote for Republicans, in WV Dems may cross party lines and support Pat Morrisey for AG, And we may see the same in VA that enough do vote Republican to save coal and mining.

GOP must make energy an economic issue that voters remember or else anti coal Democrats will win and take Obama ‘s victory as a mandate to kill coal and much domestic energy production.

Voters must know the difference between Romney GOP united and Obama on coal and energy.
No to costly EPA regulations that kill jobs and energy independence..

Note, 65.6+34.4 =100, Oklahoma was the only state in the Union where nobody made the presidential ballot except McCain and Obama. (Nader made the ballot in every other state).

Plus this contradiction:

“But the poll found much to stir concern within the burgeoning Obama re-election campaign. Despite signs of economic recovery, nearly half of Americans said the country is at the start of a long-term decline. Americans by a sizable plurality said Mr. Obama’s approach has worsened the nation’s budget deficit and health-care problems, and increased its partisan divide .”

So the “coal” map above could be quite accurate for November. The danger is for Romney to peak too early, and then begin fumbling the lead away by assorted gaffes or failure to attack BIG BRObama’s lies head-on a la McLame’s Campaign of the Weak.

Another danger is to believe the election is “close” when it is nothing of the sort, and then become even softer and squishier to attract “independents”.

I have lived in oil country where the practice is used since before it started. Fracking and safely functioning pipelines are a daily part of life for us.
