Consequently, I guarantee that Rat lawyers will starting working today trying to figure out ways in which to circumvent West Virginia law.
Big question is who will we run ? We cannot allow this once-in-a-half-century+ opportunity be pissed away. The last time a Dem legend died in WV (Matt Neely), we won the special there, so this is a prime opportunity to get the seat. Although she has some issues of not being as Conservative as I’d like, I think running Shelley Moore Capito is our best bet at the moment. We don’t have any other statewide officeholders, and all the rest are either Mayors or an underwhelming number of legislators.
