Give up. If/when the DC suburbs start spilling into the north of the state think about a revival.
Doubtful it would work, if the DC area start spilling into WV it would be mostly due to right leaning middle class white persons moving westward because of rising prices in Loudoun County.
I mean assuming no realignments, in many decades the combination of just the growth of the DC area combined with population decline in a lot of the rest of WV gives a none-zero chance it could be somewhat competitive again. Not saying much but yeah
