		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes its tough to be Governor.
And, Joe Manchin has a colossal decision ahead of him.
The general assumption is current Justice Joe Albright will not return to the court.  He will have to be replaced.
Kaboom!
Albright&#8217;s term is up in 2012.  So, whoever Joe appoints will sit in the seat for two years until the 2010 election.  [...]]]></description>

Every year no one makes a move.
Every year Earl Ray wins.
That&#8217;s the way its been in the Senate since I first joined.  Earl Ray became President that year.  And, every two years thereafter rumblings begin about someone challenging Earl Ray for the Presidency.
Before I went to the Senate, it seemed Senate [...]]]></description>

Yet, no one on the Democratic side can hear it yet.
What is it?
The 2010 Census.
Well, not the people coming to knock on your door, but the redistricting that will have to occur because of it.
And, no matter what way you slice it, even the crafty and wily leader of redistricting on [...]]]></description>

How scary is that?
The people who actually support Darrell&#8230;  well, I like to refer to them as the aliens.
Because they have such a different view on life and West Virginia, I SO don&#8217;t understand them, that they must be aliens.
Now, with McGraw&#8217;s razor [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we look at the results of this election, our campaign plan was ALMOST perfect.
We knew it was going to be close, probably 5,000-10,000 votes either way.
Our goal as a campaign was to build Dan&#8217;s name recognition throughout the state.  We didn&#8217;t have the money to beat up Darrell.
But if you look at where we [...]]]></description>

Literally, people are stunned, countless people have called me to ask how we did it and the whole &#8217;surprise&#8217; over his victory has me scratching my head.
I think Mark himself is a little surprised because he&#8217;s had people [...]]]></description>
