The focus seems to all be on the Democrats, when in fact, the Republicans didn't blow this one. They recruited their best candidate and their candidate held on. I mean, it didn't help that Tennant's attempts to sound independent from Obama came off as desperate, but it was more that Shelley Moore Capito won this election than Natalie Tennant losing it.

Compare that to 2010, when Democrats not only nominated Joe Manchin, who was known there as being a fairly conservative Democrat and was EXTREMELY popular (Tennant wasn't of similar popularity, obv.), but the Republicans nominated John Raese, known in West Virginia as a perennial loser of sorts.

She was/is a terrible candidate running against a good one. It needs to be the other way around for Democrats to win federal office in West Virginia.

I wouldn't say she's a terrible candidate, but she's definitely not of the caliber that Capito is.
