Why are we taking farmland?? Why are we putting these in community?? Why don’t we use old mine sites that no one ever uses or ever sees?
Wait… not THAT mine site!!
A ‘months long courtship?’ Umm, you mean like every other development project we have in the state? Ffs.
The Gazette-Mail has obtained documents indicating a monthslong courtship between West Virginia leaders and an out-of-state developer proposing a Boone County data center campus.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess the kids who were found in a House of Horrors in Jackson Co were in public school. Why?
Bec there has been ZERO articles written from all the Democrat news orgs. If those kids were homeschooled there would be 1,375 breathless stories
Didn’t agree w/ JRock much but respected that he would help communities & not demand he, his wife, or his dog’s name be put on a building to get it.
I’m assuming he’s also not going to demand a parade down Kanawha Blvd or a horse with empty boots like he’s the president
The fact ANYONE would oppose a data center going onto the old Hobet site is literal insanity. It’s miles away from anywhere, no one will have any idea it’s there, it will pour tens of millions of Tax $$ into Boone schools.
Someone, anyone, please stop the madness!
In the 1994 Republican wave, Repubs gained 10 House seats. Tuesday’s wave? Democrats gained 12.
In 1996 w/Dem registration advantage Repubs lost 6 (Shelley Capito came in 7th out of 7 in House 30th). In 28, Dems will drop back to 15/16.
The Dems only hope is LOW voter turnout
The condescension of Democrats who equate a degree in - social work - as a measure of intelligence. 😂
My dog could get a degree is social work, party 85% of the 4 yrs & then also be begging the dude in the dozer making 5x their salary to pay off their school loans for them
Imagine being so broken by the big companies in your org demanding dudes be able to get naked in girls locker rooms that you put your entire reputation on the line & endorse a preening jackass like Fluharty who hates your guts and opposes every one of your issues & then - loses
In 2028, Republicans will win back these seats:
Jefferson - 2 (if not all 3 lost)
Kanawha - 1 (St Albans was a fluke, lol)
Mon - 1 (if not 2)
Wood - 1
Fayette - 1
Dems in the House in 2029? 15
That’s about the right number. And then fluctuating between 13 - 21 for decades.
Kanawha Co resembled what happened to Repubs nationally. Repub delegates winning there is impressive
Kanawha & Cabell will return to normal come 26. Def counties affected by a low turnout, high enthusiasm gap election. Registration advantage will offset Charleston & Huntington
Can clunking people’s heads together work? If so let’s do that for Senate leadership & get all that silliness behind us. Top spots for Takubo (who nearly lost) & Tarr & let’s get the rift behind us
Yes, we were fine yesterday, but the caucus needs to come together
Biggest House winner yesterday? Has to be JB Akers. That’s a tough district in a good year. To pull out a win in South Hills in a Dem wave year? Impressive. #2 is McNeely. Both are high quality candidates or they are both gone. They’ll now hold those seats as long as they want
The Gov & legislative leaders need to mend fences. & I get it, there is a race in two years where everyone will try to beat everyone. 😂. So what? Get yourselves together for at least one session & get some meat passed. You have some whacky Dems coming in so refocus the cannons.
Republicans need to understand we are electorally the Dems of the 80s and 90s. Low turnout, high enthusiasm gap midterms can get you beat bec it negates your massive voter registration advantage . Look at 94 for Republicans. We will pick up 4-5 of those House seats in 2 yrs.
Looking at the Senate races, WV Republicans should feel good weathering the storm.
The only remotely competitive areas now are 1/5/8/13/17. The other districts were total blowouts.
The House districts need to be rethought next re-districting. Kanawha/Mon/Jefferson need rework
I will say @ChazNuttycombe out of VA was pretty spot on in his polling. I Pooh-poohed him for over sampling urban areas of districts but he was really close. Congrats to him and his work. He definitely upped his street cred with the SD1 and SD8 polling
Richie Robb winning in Kanawha certainly shows it’s a tsunami Democrat year. 😂
No, listen, I like Richie, he’s gotten crazier over the years but I think he’ll normalize now he’s actually won a race for the first time in 30 years. Good for him
Senate Dems are at… 4. Yawn.
I said this b4 the election & I’ll say it after, I’ll take 10 more House Dems than having to listen to the preening peacock Fluharty for 4 LONG years. Whatever the number. It’s worth it.
Plus maybe @WV_Watch will write an article about someone other than Kayla Young! Win-win!
