WASHINGTON--In a dual endorsement in an important general election state, West Virginia's two Democratic congressmen have endorsed Governor Howard Dean. U.S. Representatives Nick Rahall and Alan Mollohan made the announcement today, citing Governor Dean's strength of character and his commitment to working families and the communities in which they live.

"Howard Dean can be the voice for jobs for West Virginians, and one for assuring comprehensive health care for our families and the retired coal miner. As a physician, healing, not division, is his passion. Our country and our allies could use a good dose of his common-sense approach to making people's lives better and our country stronger and safer," Rahall said.




This is important...a key swing state in November.

Go Dr. Dean!

1. the congressional endorsements are coming left and right

These are particularly important ones because West Virginia is a key state that we lost in 2000. It is a rural state and a state with lots of gun owners. These two Democratic congressmen must not consider Dean a drag on their ticket. My guess is that Sen. Byrd will also come out for Dean.
