Popular Dem Gov free-falling in Senate race.

The Democratic Governor of West Virginia, whose job approval in Charleston is over 60% and once had close to a 20% lead to take over the late Robert Byrd's seat, now trails Republican Jon Rease by 3. The people feel he has done a very good job running the state but apperatly are less enthuasistic of him in the Senate. I conclude that they are basing their decesion on National politics (ie Healthcare, stimulus etc), because otherwise he should be winning based on his popularity as Governor. If politics were local he should win. This to me shows the Republican stratagey of nationalizing all the races will work, and Democrats need to make every election local, like the 30some Democratcs running for the House running ads against Nancy Pelosi.
