Brian Schweitzer, the head of the Democratic Governors Association, was the keynote speaker at the Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Charleston, W.Va., over the weekend. Schweitzer said Montana and West Virginia (both rural, coal-producing states) will “lead the country to coal that is cleaner and greener.” Schweitzer was joined by many of that state’s highest-profile Democratic politicians, including U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller. Speaking to a partial crowd, the governor charged that the GOP was the party of obstructionists. From the Charleston Gazette: "If there was a vote on Christmas, they'd vote ‘no’ on that," Schweitzer said.
