Who are these no names?
You might want to develop your search skills. A simple search of the candidates name would tell you where he is from, what district he represents, and what party he belongs to. Its really simple, and when you are done, you will be a better informed citizen.
None of us can be expected to know each of the current members of Congress or to know the particulars of their individual races, but its so easy these days to become an expert. After a simple Google search on the name, go to the Cook Political report and learn about his district. Before long, you will know more than anyone in your neighborhood.
Under every article in the “Topics” category is a listing of where an article is from. In this case it says: “US: West Virginia”. So if it is not in the title, you can always glance there to check origin. But I think it is better for the poster to include the location it in the title.
