I too would vote for Capito in the general if I was there (mainly because I think Tennant is a lurker who might pull a Manchin). However SCF has refused to back her, and it does seem like kind of a waste, what with the seat being essentially a lock.
Oh well. I guess I can settle for it if we get a Tea Partier in North Carolina and perhaps Louisiana, and we replace RINOS like Gayham, McConnell and Alexander.
Any potential challengers for Rahall yet? Id’ like to increase our House majority, if only by a few.
We have potentially two. One is a conservative Democrat who recently switched to the GOP over the summer. That is something we can begin to see more of in the state as the red writing is more on the wall. I’ll be surprised if Joe Manchin holds out as a Democrat much longer. He would’ve been gone if he’d had a more down home personable opponent. Raese who I’ve met just isn’t that kind of guy. He’s a good man but just fails the warm fuzzy test.
