MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Democrat Alan Mollohan became the first member of the U.S. House to be ousted this spring primary season, after his opponent mounted a campaign that questioned the 14-term congressman’s ethics and support for federal health care reform.
Yeah, that first part will be missed by the talking heads entirely. Meanwhile his opponent in the general dispatched two full-out teabaggers. So we know where Don Blankenship’s money will be going…to both.
Yes, this will be talked about, well the first part anyway — while this is ignored entirely:
