2. I think Capito (R) will probably pick up this Senate seat.

Obama's push for new gun control legislation will definitely hurt any Democrat's chances, but Capito would probably win anyway. Looks like our best hope would be Natalie Tennant. An Independent candidate like Staunton would siphon votes away from the Capito.

I really hope I'm wrong. I really don't like Capito and I didn't like her father, ex-Governor and convicted felon Arch Moore.

Thanks for asking.
