Election Day is just 15 days away! In the state of West Virginia, that is.
Earl Ray Tomblin became governor when Joe Manchin was elected to the Senate last year. Tomblin began the race as a heavy favorite against Republican Bill Maloney, but this race is turning out a lot closer than most expected: “Whatever the ad’s effect on voters, the Tomblin ad suggests the race has narrowed and that Tomblin’s once formidable double-digit lead has shrunk. A recent poll suggested Tomblin was leading by only 6 points, though it had nearly a 4 percent margin of error.”
The governor, who owns an out-of-state home in a gated community, is attacking his opponent for owning an out-of-state home in a gated community.
Meet Maloney:
It’s not surprising that Maloney is trying to make Obama an issue; PPP recently put his job approval/disapproval split at 32/62 in that state.
