As voters go to the polls today, it is worth keeping in mind some facts about West Virginia. Given that Hillary and company have made such a big deal about large states, it is fair to say that WV is not even a middle size state. Its population in 2006 is estimated at 1,818,470, far less than 1% of the U.S. population (closer to 1/2 of 1%). Its population grew at a rate of .6% between 2000-2006, while the US grew at a rate of 6.4%. Oh, and given Hillary's recent emphasis on hard-working, white Americans, you might be interested to learn that WV is 94.9. white.
