One of the winners from Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's election to governor was fellow gubernatorial candidate Jeff Kessler who'll remove the acting Senate President from his title, according to the AP's Lawrence Messina:
West Virginia senators appear likely to name Marshall County Democrat Jeff Kessler as their new president.
Kessler emerged from a Monday closed-door party meeting with enough backing to succeed Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin in that legislative post. Sens. Brooks McCabe, D-Kanawha, and Mike Green, D-Raleigh, had also sought the Senate presidency.
Tomblin resigned as Senate president Sunday to take the office he won in October's special gubernatorial election.
