Maybe WV can get it right next time.

Doesn’t our government give him hundreds of millions a year because he rents his building to the UN?

Rockefeller Clan is nothing more than NWO/UN schills...

Good riddance to this 'RAT turd!

West Virginia GOP: PLEASE give us a decent conservative candidate like Ted Cruz of Texas. Don't run a left-leaning RINO, nor conservative losers like Akin or Mourdock.

Why so pessimistic seeing how West Virginia went Romney in 2012?

...and picked up only one state-wide position (AG) even though people were already splitting their ballots.

Now that WV 1 has turned R, Capito might be able to make it interesting, but she doesn't have Raese type money.

Hasn’t she lost 10 statewide races already? If Republicans couldn’t win a statewide race, even in favorable years. As far as statewide nonpreidential racrs , West Virginia is bluer than California or New York. And 2014 is likely to be a heavily Democratic year.

R+1

I won't count our seats until the election!! The candidate that we might get could do a Todd Aiken a week before the election.

The two month time frame didn’t give a Republican the chance to declare and get a campaign up and running.

That doesn't explain John Raese's dismal failure to defeat Munchkin in 2012 ...

No, the real problem here is that the WV demonicRats have a well-oiled porkbarrel political machine, and the WV republicans can't campaign their way out of a wet paper bag.

To make matters worse, certain supposedly conservative, supposedly pro-freedom national associations give top ratings and glowing endorsements to disingenuous 'Rats.

No. Please do some research.

Mizzzzzzz Capito served two terms in the State House of Delegates, and has been a Member of Congress since 2000. She has NEVER lost a statewide election. She has also never participated in a statewide election.

Her record in Congress of voting conservatively on economic and military issues is severely marred by her continued support of the baby-killing industry.

I am sorry but 30 years for ANYBODY is enough. If Rockefeller is 75 today and were to run in ‘14 and win, he’d be 83 years old at the end of that next term. That is just way too old.

God back to WV, Jay, enjoy what is left of your life, your wife and your family money that bought you the seat in the first place.
