W.Va. Dispatches from the Dem Convention

  • Gov. Joe Manchin talked to The Intelligencer of Wheeling about his plan to focus on the economy when he addresses the convention audience. "Manchin, presently chairman of the Democratic Governors Association, will be among 10 governors slated to speak between 7-8 p.m. Tuesday," the newspaper reports.
  • At least one convention delegate from West Virginia is holding out hope that Hillary Clinton somehow steals the nomination from Barack Obama. “Theoretically, she could still win it,” state Sen. Shirley Love, D-Fayette, told The Register-Herald of Beckley. “Probably? No.”
  • MetroNews reports that superdelegate and U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., is not expected to make the trip to Denver. It also offers a photo gallery of scenes outside the convention center.

10 Democrat governors in 60 minutes? Are they all going to speak at once?
