Post Election Mania

Here's one for the environmentalists among us...
A news wire story about the environmental effects of the 2008 Presidential Campaign.

We all know the campaigns spent millions to get their messages across. But what about the environmental cost -- specifically how much the campaigns of Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain contributed to global warming. Based on total campaign expenditures -- including flying, driving, and printing materials -- it's estimated that the Obama camp emitted nearly 78,000 tons of climate-change inducing carbon dioxide (CO2) and the McCain campaign roughly 59,000 tons of CO2. The campaigns would need to plant a combined 18 square miles of new trees to offset the climate changing pollution they caused.

The Mountaineers take on Cincinnati on Saturday night at 7pm at Milan Puskar Stadium.
Big game as the Eeers are undefeated in the Big East. A BCS bowl is still within our grasp.

Congrats to Governor Joe Manchin who easily won reelection on Tuesday. He's done a superb job and will continue to do his best for the citizens of this state.
