West Virginia | Benjamin Gaining On McGraw In Supreme Court Race
MSNBC just showed Republican Brent Benjamin winning over incumbent Democrat Warren McGraw in the Supreme Court Justice race 53% to 47%, with 49% of the vote counted. This was a very hotly contested race. These are TWELVE YEAR terms and the stakes are high.

McGraw is accused by his critics of allowing a convicted child molester get a job as an elementary school janitor (which was later blocked), and of using his brother, Attorney General Darrel McGraw, to campaign for him. Benjamin, the challenger, is criticized for having too little experience for the job.

More on McGraw and this race at DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS.
