Well, that didn't happen

WV GOP chair Mike Stuart's bold prediction to Phil Kabler back in October:
Stuart also said he believes some well-known Democrats will switch
parties and run as Republicans in 2012.

"I feel confident there will be some notable names ... that will be
switching parties for statewide races," said Stuart, who said he could
not name names.

Stuart's vow for a strong ballot for statewide offices also seems to have come up short, forcing him to settle on a re-run of John Raese, the racist stupidity of Larry Faircloth in the auditor race and having to import a failed NJ GOP congressional candidate for the attorney general race.

But, given the way Stuart sabotaged Betty Ireland's bid for governor, it shouldn't be a shock that serious GOP candidates are hesitant to run while he's in charge of their party.

Why switch (0.00 / 0)
when a politician like Joe Manchin can declare himself a Democrat, yet continuously side with Republicans and still get the vote of WV Democrats?
