Every election has its surprises...things no one saw coming.
West Virginia FReeper Jay Wolfe has been ignored by the entire political establishment in his bid to unseat liberal incumbent U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller...but they also wrote the state off in 2000 as unwinnable for Bush.
Thank God the rank and file Republicans of West Virginia didn't have the same losing attitude...if they did, Gore would be in the White House right now. (~shudder~)
Grassroots conservatives are working their hearts out across the Mountain State to get the message and the GOP vote out. We shall see if they can get it done. I for one believe it is possible.

trust me, there are a few folks across the nation who know what the grassroots movement in West Virginia has acccomplished....and some of us know full well that without little 'ole WV, Gore would be President, as you point out!
so keep up the great work and who knows, come election day, maybe the good Jay will win! regardless, your work for the years prior to the 2000 election will go down as one of the great grass roots movements in US history.

Who exactly was writing off Bush as having a chance in WV? Of the 13 state-wide polls I'm aware of that were released out of WV during 2000, Bush led in 11 of them. To my recollection, WV was considered in play all along. If there were similiar poll results for Jay Wolfe, I'm sure people wouldn't be ignoring this race.

God bless you and the other committed conservatives of West Virginia! Here's hoping you all can pull off another major upset.
