Democrats crushed .... no I mean, really crushed tow Truck Senator WV

[Bob]

When a used car salesman;tow truck driver beats the establishment, you know Democrats were crushed. Remember how arrogant they were all during Obama pitiful reign?

I am happy a drag racer finally became a Senator. Maybe things will now move faster.

I am showing part of the article so be sure to read all of it.

That was the kind of election it was for West Virginia Democrats. As voters took out their disgust with President Barack Obama, Maynard defeated Sen. Truman Chafin, a lawmaker Republicans previously had bothered to challenge only once in three decades.
The same momentum helped Republicans win a U.S. Senate seat held for decades by a Democrat, sweep three congressional seats and take majorities in the Legislature for the first time in eight decades.
@Cigar hero got spanked. @exotix (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=516) has to be furious.

I'm sure a used car salesman would make a great politician.

WV is a fiscally conservative, socially liberal state that's tired of the war on coal and watching jobs and living standards vacate the state.

The shift to republicans in WV isn't so much that they want republicans running things, the big story here (and I don't know if it was mentioned in the piece - probably not) is that many of the incumbents - big family names who have held offices for generations were tossed aside for new blood.

That's the real story down here, not just a couple republicans got elected.

He can't do any worse than the crooked sheister lawyers that now hold those positions.

Mitch McConnell was just elected as Senate Majority leader ... that's like inmates of the asylum picking a leader ... LOL
