Score a victory for the Dems

Democrat Earl Ray Tomblin Wins West Virginia Governor's Race 50-47%

But the good news is that this is only to finish out one year then he has to run again. And he only won by 3% against someone who has never run and is new to politics. The Republicans almost scored a huge upset with a no name. I have a feeling he won't hold this if they get a real candidate against him next year. He has some scandal in his background.

Plus the Dem ran against Obama and Washington to win.

And Democrat outnumber Republicans in that state by a 2-1 margain. SO only losing by 3% is a huge statement for 2012.

Good point. How is he going to do that nest year? Shoot obama in the foot to win and hand the state which Obama won, to the Repulicans?

My question is why would Republicans run a no name who has never run and is new to politics?

Sounds like the Tea Party at work.

Democrats + Entitlements = West Virginia.

Ok, back on topic.
