area was controlled by Democrats back when coal and steel was king. Since the loss of Union jobs and the election of a black man it has gone Republicon. What is sad NAFTA was a Republican bill that GHWB couldn't get passed. Under Clinton it was passed with mostly Republican votes and Clinton persuaded enough Democrats to vote for it to pass it. The Republicans have used that against Demcrats for 20 years now.
