I want to mention something about the West Virginia upset
Advertisements [?]
Seated Congressman Alan Mollohan lost his Primary bid, and his seat in Congress, last night by a considerable margin, I believe it went 56% the conservative challenger and 44% of the vote went to the more liberal (but not by much) incumbent.

This is what I think is worth mentioning - Mollohan, the more liberal candidate, only won 6 of the 20 counties in his district but the 6 counties he won were the most rural and most remote in the district whereas the challenger, the more conservative of the candidates won biggest in the counties with the largest urban areas.

I'm going to go check and see if the clocks are running backwards because something in the universe isn't right.
