Alex Mooney wins

I indicated in an earlier post that Shelley Moore Capito was probably not destined to become your favorite senator but the man who could take her seat in congress may become one of your favorite congressman. Alex Mooney, a former Maryland GOP state chairman is running for the Republican nomination in West Virginia's second congressional district. So are 6 other candidates but the home schooling, pro life father of two has won endorsements from Mike Huckabee, the Martinsburg, WV Tea Party, the Tea Party Express and the Senate Conservative Fund.
With 19% of the vote in Mooney leads with 32.7% of the vote. His nearest rival, Ken Reed, has 26.6%.

Update: With 75% of the vote in Alex Mooney has been declared the winner!
