Disarray among the West Virginia GOP

With so much attention on WV-02, we've overlooked the good news that occurred on filing day.

The usually right wing suspects are ignoring the mote in their own eye. Despite aggressive recruitment efforts, the West Virginia GOP failed to find a single candidate to challenge either Democrats Alan Mollohan or Nick Rahall. The state GOP failed to find credible opponents for the gubernatorial or U.S. Senate races.

With all their eggs in one basket, the state GOP has nothing to crow about.

As I hear it, Marty Gearheart called the Sec State's office to let them know he had mailed his filing form.

His website (http://www.martygearheart.com/) backs that up with references to 2008.

Is he embarrassed about being Republican? No where on his web site does he mention the word.

When a man embarks upon a crime, he is morally guilty of any other crime which may spring from it. Sherlock Holmes.

I'll have to dig back into brain cells that haven't been used in far too long to remember his last race against NJR and how that went.

But really, would you put GOP on your yard signs this year?
