The British Broadcasting Corporation says there's no way West Virginia should be overlooked in this year's election.
BBC Correspondent, Steve Evans says "West Virginia seemed like an interesting place with coal and where it fits in to this environmental movement."
The BBC broadcasts worldwide via television, radio, and the web. On their bus tour they're trying to get a feel of what everyday americans are thinking about the election. West Virginia House Of Delegates member Cliff Moore says he's glad BBC is here.
The journalists spend 16 to 18 hours a day on the bus reporting to the world, but after they ask their political questions, local residents ask there about politics of the United Kingdom.
"I think your politicians seem to be much more up front, right out there. They can talk." says Evans.

The station refers to itself as WKRP, reminiscent of the 1970s hit television show "WKRP in Cincinnati," and changed its trademark to WKRP Cincinnati but did not change its call letters, said Elliott Block, general manager.
