Our own heath harrison has an excellent Q&A with U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall at Huffington Post. Here's an excerpt but it's well worth reading in full:
I'm running this campaign as I run every campaign -- vigorously, working for every vote and not taking anything for granted. Whether its' an election year or non-election year, I've always been accessible to the people and have a record of which I'm proud to run.
I believe this election is crucial to the future of our state, because of the loss of seniority already, with the loss of Senator Byrd. And we lost a seat on the House Appropriations committee with Representative Mollohan's defeat. West Virginia cannot afford further loss of seniority, which is vital to a small state like ours.
I recognize there's anger out there. There's angst, there's frustration, there's fear --the fear being more fueled by scare tactics run across the nation and, in particular, my district.
But, when all is said and done, the people of West Virginia will see through the fog and the fear factor that's being invoked in this election and make their judgments in what is in the best interest for our state.
