Why does everyone assume Jenkins will win the primary? Morrissey is in a far better position given his name recognition, statewide office, and greater base appeal.
Well, yes, he has statewide office, but how long has he been in WV compared to Jenkins? Also, he's from Jefferson County (far east tip of eastern panhandle), which is in DC metro and FAR more like VA/MD than the rest of WV. And what do you mean about "base appeal"? Jenkins is actually a better fit for those than Morrisey, look at his background. WV has a lot of D's-turned-R who say "the party left them," just like Jenkins,
