West Virginians attending the Republican National Convention are contrasting their treatment with what they experienced at the 2004 event, The Charleston Gazette reports.
"Last time, the delegation was assigned a five-star hotel in midtown Manhattan, within walking distance of Madison Square Garden, where they had prime seating on the convention floor," the article said.
But with West Virginia no longer a battleground state (but instead considered safe McCain territory), "This time, they've been relegated to a second-tier hotel in Bloomington, Minn., a good 20 miles away from the convention center in St. Paul, where the delegation's seats are pushed off to the side of the stage."

I think the battleground state status for WV is up in the air. There hasn't been any polling done by any of the polling organizations since early June. Obama's campaign has said that it at battleground status based on internal polling.
There's no reason to believe WV would be a battleground state this time. There are two many "bitter clingers" here.
Don't forget to add racists to the bitter clingers.
