CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is opening campaign offices in West Virginia.

The Illinois senator’s campaign is scheduled to hold an open house Tuesday evening at its headquarters in Charleston.

State Obama director Tom Vogel says the Charleston office is one of seven the campaign will staff leading up to November’s election.

The campaign has said it will have offices in Morgantown, the northern and eastern panhandles and southern West Virginia.

West Virginians overwhelmingly supported rival Democrat Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in May’s primary, but party officials say Democrats will unite behind Obama.

Party officials have said they hope Obama or his vice presidential running mate Senator Joseph Biden will make a stop in the state.




Bleed mcPOW dry, will Obama force mcPOW to spend money in WV, of all place?!!?

1. YEEEEEEEES

I've been planning to post on this state for a couple of days. Why not contest it? Flip 50,000 votes and it's another five EVs - - and the state is very cheap to advertise in, and can be canvassed by our guys in a day or two.

I would actually plan a two-day bus tour here - - and send Bill Clinton (who won there twice) in beforehand. West Virginians love their politicians once they meet them and can identify with them, and are not just abstractions threatening the coal industry and their jobs. They have two Democratic senators and a Democratic governor.

Obama and Biden (who would REALLY connect with people there) should definitely go there for a day or two, as should Bill and Hillary.

This is *fantastic* news to start the day. Thanks.
