Barth Adopts "11th-Hour Power" Slogan

Anne Barth has embraced her late entry in the 2nd District congressional race, as evidenced by the slogan at Thursday's state Capitol rally.

The Associated Press, The Charleston Gazette and MetroNews (with audio) were among those covering the campaign kickoff.

AP also touches on possible issues in the race: "In 2004, she was one of three statewide coordinators for John Kerry's presidential campaign. That year, she also was one of the founders of DREMA Dems, a group billing itself as a vehicle to help elect liberal women to public office."

Update: Barth hopes to challenge U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd, who spent part of Thursday talking about Iraq and pending economic stimulus legislation to Eastern Panhandle voters, The Journal of Martinsburg reports.
