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.
I think that the Governor will.

I also think that you’re right about Shelley Moore Capito. It’s too bad that Betty Ireland got tired of politics. Had she been reelected, I think she would have been the best choice.
