He spent millions of dollars to run. I don't think that is solely why he won, but the GOP bench, as I'm sure you know, was not ever strong in WV, so it was easy to squish the competition.
The few republicans with any sway in the state usually kept it close against him, though.
in 1984, John Raese was not yet a joke, and spent a lot of money like Rockefeller. Reagan's national landslide also helped keep it close. 51-47 for Rocky.
in 1980, Arch Moore only lost 54-45 to Rocky.
