If Arch Moore was alive and ran tomorrow I'd vote for him in a heartbeat 💓💓
FYI...the Rockefellers are related to the Roosevelts. If you look at photos of Jay, and maybe squint a little, you’ll see the resemblance.
As a WV’ian don’t care ... don’t care ... don’t care!

Actually, they are not. I worked on a project once that involved learning about the Rockefellers' migration from Germany in the 1500s to Holland and then to America. They were not related to the Roosevelts through the third generation that I read abou—Jay Rockefeller's father's generation.
If you have different info, I'd appreciate a citation.
PS
If there seems to be a very slight resemblance, it may be because both families have some Dutch ancestry.
From Duck duck go
Yes, John D. Rockefeller is the 14th cousin once removed of Franklin D. Roosevelt through a shared ancestor. This distant familial connection links the two prominent American families.
