(I don't think swinging Dem during the New Deal makes WV politics non-Southern, btw; But I think *becoming* Dem during the New Deal is a story more like, say, western PA) — PolitiTweet.org

West Virginia instead becomes a blue state in the New Deal, with political loyalties forged in the eras fights over industry, labor, etc. Here's the swing from 16-44, where impoverished areas, urban north, TVA, and old economy resource extraction zones swing D https://t.co/b0AmRAoTtN — PolitiTweet.org

The next phase of Southern politics is most famous: the dissolution of the Democratic hold on the white South, beginning in 1948 and ending in 1968. But WV really wasn't part of that swing, shown here in the swing from 48 to 68. In fact, WV votes Humphrey *and* doesn't shift R https://t.co/2l5u4uMg6D — PolitiTweet.org
