WV votes Republican in presidential races. Byrd was similiar to Kennedy. He’d been there so long and the people in the state seemed to personally like him. With him gone a Republican winning is possible but it depends on the candidate, quality of the campaign and really how addicted they are to pork. There is no reason a conservative can’t win here however. This is a race conservatives should aggressively involve themselves in.
The GOP switch for WV didn’t start until 2000...it is relatively new to the Red State column. An exception was Reagan’s landslide in 1984.
“This is a race conservatives should aggressively involve themselves in.”
I love all these unknowns and outsiders making good this year! Is this seat’s election on Nov. 2?
