and they were discussing how a lot of out of state republican and libertarian candidates are being influxed into our state, which is truly going to turn us Red for a long time. Mooney, for example. So we have kids leaving our state in droves to find jobs, while Republicans that hardly ever live here are taking over the legislator. Big money is spent on these candidates from the likes of the Koch braws .. because they can no longer win national elections... they must infiltrate state, local, and judicial positions.. and honestly, the folks in WV don't educate themselves.

Capito is probably a shoe-in. The days of supporting our unions and Robert C. Byrd are long gone.

Guys like Mooney run on the tea party ticket but, like the libertarians, are just Republicans. Lots of folks are fooled by this, thinking they are getting an "out side of the box" candidate, or someone that isn't "part of Washington" when they are funded by the same outfits and are simply ensuring right wing policy.
