Can't help you, offhand, but on the "to business" theme: RNC: West Virginia Democrats Flee From Gore's Job-Killing Agenda Vice President's Radical Record 'Has Not Been Helpful,' Democratic Campaign Aide Tells Roll Call CHARLESTON, W.Va., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- West Virginia workers aren't the only ones whose jobs may be threatened by Al Gore's radical environmental agenda. According to a strategist for Democratic congressional candidate Jim Humphreys, Gore is also bad for the career aspirations of West Virginia Democrats, who are now publicly abandoning the Vice President and distancing themselves from him on key issues. "Gore's record on Kyoto and the environment writ large has generally not been helpful," consultant Bob Doyle, a Humphreys campaign advisor, says in the October 23rd issue of Roll Call, an inside-the-Beltway publication. "Bush is doing better in West Virginia than we would like him to be doing. Gore and the Democratic presence there has been very weak, while Bush had been up for some time framing the alternatives." In an interview with Roll Call, Doyle "conceded that Bush was more than holding his own in heavily Democratic West Virginia, where Gore's environmental and gun control stands are unpopular" while also boasting that Humphreys "had contrasted himself effectively with the Vice President, who hasn't yet visited the state, on the issues of mountaintop mining and guns." "We've found places to show our independence, and we think that's been an important part of our campaign," Doyle said of the relationship with Gore. Recent polls have shown Humprheys, a millionaire trial lawyer, steadily losing ground to GOP candidate Shelley Moore Capito in the race for West Virginia's 2nd Congressional District seat. When it comes to Gore's agenda and record, it's not difficult to figure out what Humphreys is running away from. While Governor Bush has proposed spending $2 billion to develop clean-coal technology, Gore has endangered the jobs of West Virginia working families by striking unfair international treaties such as the Kyoto accords and advocating higher taxes on fossil fuels. Gore also helped to kill a bipartisan proposal to save Medicare from bankruptcy and has been waging a campaign of scare tactics against bipartisan proposals to preserve and strengthen Social Security. prnewswire.com
