Earl Ray Tomblin has pushed tax payer subsidies to his family business, dog racing and gambling, for years. His affiliation with felons like Joe Ferral is well known in political circles but the generally public has little knowledge of it.
Kudos to Perdue for finally bringing this glaringly corrupt issue to the forefront. How the mainstream media has not made more of an issue about this just shows that money controls a lot in small market West Virginia. I may just vote for Perdue for having the guts to brint attention to this issue before the GOP pounces on it in the general.
I think Tomblin, the favorite in the Democratic Primary according to the polls, is in store for major attacks from a nationally bankrolled GOP candidate. As Democrats, how can we defend someone who in our heart of hearts we know is wrong. This one cannot.
