Mitt Romney's W.Va. Connection

Mitt Romney recently invoked her in a televised argument with a reporter. Beth Myers, the Republican's national campaign manager and former gubernatorial chief-of-staff, traces her roots to parents born and raised in West Virginia.

Myers recently told The Associated Press about spending summers with her mother's family in Roane County until she was about 15.

"We'd hang out by the (Spencer city) pool, and go to the Robey Theatre and watch movies," Myers said. "It doesn't get any better than that."
