McKinney Talks 1st District Race

[ccharles000]

West Virginia Republican Party Chairman Douglas McKinney doesn't think a contentious Democratic primary election will necessarily help GOP chances to take the state's 1st District congressional seat this year.

Incumbent U.S. Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., faces a primary challenge in 2010 from current state Sen. Mike Oliverio, D-Monongalia.

"After years of having none or only token opposition in the primary, (Mollohan) has competition this year," McKinney said "And Sen. Oliverio has always been a conservative guy. He votes with the Republican on committees. We've joked for years he needs to come over to the party who thinks like he does.

"He's a real contrast to Mollohan," McKinney added.
