Election 2008 Shorts (Corrected)

PRESIDENT: The Associate Press reports that the White House candidates "spent more than $90,000 in West Virginia during the last quarter of 2007, without any of them setting foot in the Mountain State." Mitt Romney forked out the most, $30,084, as he and other GOP hopefuls geared up for the Feb. 5 convention.

CONGRESS: U.S. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., had a commanding $3.7 million in the bank as of Jan. 1, according to his latest federal report. AP has details and also offers on-hand totals for the rest of the delegation on the 2008 ballot:

• Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-1st: ; $69,737 (corrected);
  
• Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-2nd: $643,865;
• Rep. Nick Rahall, D-3d: $1.2 million (corrected).

Mollohan is unopposed. Rahall and Capito's opponents did not file reports, or entered the race after they were due. The reports also show that state Sen. John Unger, D-Berkeley, raised $221,000 before dropping his bid to challenge Capito last month.
