Just saw a couple of interviews with Nathalie Tennant and I'm starting to really like her. She seems very smart and well-spoken. Smiley
I think she can actually poll this off, even if most polls have her down by about ten points.

She's the second coming of Parker Griffith.

Why would you say that? She being pro coal is a pretty uncontroversial stance in West Virginia. There are probably no politician more pro coal in the entire United States than the guy she wants to replace, Joe Manchin. On other issues she seems to be a pretty prototypical Democrat. She's attacking Moore Capito for being the only West Virginian in Congress to vote against a health and security protection act and her whole coal supporting thingy basically comes down to the desire to keep jobs in her home state. She wouldn't have had such a big issue with the Obama administration's anti coal regulations if only they would replace them with new jobs in renewable energy sectors, as she said in one interview. So it's more that she's a pro jobs than a pro coal politician really. I'm pretty sure that she's more liberal than Joe Manchin. Even Shelley Moore Capito sounds like a Democrat sometimes. Tongue Capito's own role model in the Senate is Lisa Murkowski, together with Susan Collins the most moderate Senate Republican there is.

So not moderate at all, got it.

Well, "moderate", at least compared to the other Republicans in the Senate.

So in the same way that Charles Albright was a "moderate" serial killer compared with Ted Bundy. Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Or like how Mussolini was a moderate compared to Adolf Hitler.
