State Legislature...
Anyone know any of the candidates who deserve mention--positive or negative--who are registered for the primary?

It is kind of hard to keep track when they argue for six weeks about ATVs and then pass 200 bills in 24 hours.

Thomas Campbell(28th) has been willing to make himself available in the interim periods.

1. I don't know a lot about most of the candidates
but I really like Kevin Craig. He strikes me as someone who really listens to his constituents (of any economic background) more than most politicians.

3. Charleston Delegate Carrie Webster
the woman is among the best progressives in the house and she's great!

I went to college with her and I always told her that I thought she'd be the first female governor of WV

If she ever does win, she will be the reason I move back to WV

4. don't know a lot other than we'r ein deep shit this year
the GOP is running candidates in every race and flooding wv newspapers with "end 70 years of liberal rule" bullshit. i had no idea, until recently, just how close the split in the legislature is and I fear that we're looking at a GOP takeover of the state in the fall w/ both houses going republican and joe manchin elected governor.

wv's democratic leadership is so lackluster that i don't see anything happening to stop it

hell, i think most of them want it to happen. if the GOP were to gain a moajority, it would be only a matter of time until the bob plymales. joe manchins, and other zell miller-esque DINOs mader the party affiliation switch ooficial

5. isn't former huntington mayor bobby nelson running for legislature?
or is it the court?

in any case, he's a great guy and definitely worth voting for.
