Clearly the least comfortable place to be in politics today is Hillary Clinton’s scheduling office. Can you imagine what it’s like to get enthusiastic about anything in there — let alone the prospect of spending the next week in West Virginia?
The solution might be, again, Bill Clinton, who campaigned in such North Carolina towns as Elizabeth City, New Bern, Jacksonville, Smithfield, Louisburg, Zebulon, Henderson, and Roxboro. Where might they send him in West Virginia? Here are a few Mountaineer State cities that might give those Tar Heel towns a run for their money:
- Bath
- Flemington
- Hundred
- Iaeger
- Jane Lew
- Kermit
- Man
- Paw Paw
- Smithers
- War
- Amherstdale-Robinette
- Beaver
- Crab Orchard
- Harts
- Hurricane
- Mineralwells
- Mount Gay-Shamrock
- Sistersville
- Nutter Fort
- Pinch
Of course, John McCain could send his own surrogate to campaign in the West Virginia town of Romney.
And if the fight continues beyond West Virginia? Here’s how the Democrats might settle their convention delegate differences, Kentucky style.

The towns of Cross Lanes, Nitro, and Poca are all near Charleston WV. Poca’s high school sports teams are called the Dots. I’m not making it up.
