WV SENATE RACE

I've been trying to gather information about the candidates and thought I'd share what I've found. The statement below is from one of the candidates and explains why this Senate race is so important.


"The [candiate] who wins the U.S Senate general election on November 2, 2010 is going to be in a unique position. The other Congressional winners will take office in January 2011. However, because of Senator Robert C. Byrd's death, the newly elected U.S. Senator will be sworn in the next day, November 3, 2010. This means that they will begin serving on the first day of the "lame duck" session."

Here are some useful links with general info about all candidates:
