WVa in spotlight tomorrow
Remember, the West Virginia primary is tomorrow, and here's your primer on all the candidates gunning for longtime District 1 congressman Alan Mollohan's seat. (PS, the DCCC started sending strategic support to Mollohan last week, Politico reports.)
Reid Wilson at Hotline On Call looks into the late fundraising numbers:
