Some Republicans back Democrat Casey
By Paul J. Nyden

Charleston Mayor Danny Jones and Tom Lane, president of the Charleston City Council, are among the Republicans who will back Democratic congressional candidate Nick Casey in the November election, according to Casey’s campaign.

Casey for Congress announced Thursday it’s creating a “Republicans for Casey” groups throughout West Virginia’s Second Congressional District.

Casey, a lawyer and political leader from Charleston, is running for the seat being vacated by Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.

Alex Mooney, his Republican opponent in the November general election, lives in Martinsburg, where he recently moved from Maryland. - See more at: http://www.wvgazette.com/article/20140612/GZ01/140619659/1419#sthash.5Ypfx6cR.dpuf

Isn't Charlotte Lane married to Tom Lane? Or divorced from Tom Lane or in some way related to him? That would be a delicious irony, as she was one of the Republican candidates who lost to Mooney in the primary election!
