2 big stars who have a long-standing household drama could possibly face-off in West Virginia in November, 2014, making the Mountain State's senate race for the seat held by incumbent Jay Rockefeller the first must-watched senate race of 2014. Yes, the midterm elections in 2014 are still about two years away, and numerous even more Senate, gubernatorial and House races will certainly become races to follow between now and then. However the statement by Republican Rep. Shelley Moore Capito that she will certainly run for Senate in West Virginia jump-started the first contest. Capito, 59, is a six-term Congresswoman for the state's 2nd congressional district. She's the first Republican female elected to represent the state, and from her first term in 2001 until 2010 she was the only Republican in the state's congressional delegation. The seat Capito is finding is presently held by Democratic Sen.

| 0 | “If he does decide to seek re-election it’s one of the marquee races of 2014,” says Neil Berch, associate professor of politics at West Virginia University. “He probably is somewhat more liberal than the state, Capito is probably somewhat more conservative than the state on economic issues. They’re both really strong candidates, they both would raise a ton of money, and I think it would be one of the biggest Senate races of that cycle.” |
| 0.10457 | “Near the top of the list would be the governor, Earl Ray Tomblin, but I don’t know that he has an interest in being in Washington. Secretary of State Natalie Tennant would also be a strong candidate,” Berch said. ... |
| 0.0768268 | “Near the top of the list would be the governor, Earl Ray Tomblin, but I don’t know that he has an interest in being in Washington. Secretary of State Natalie Tennant would also be a strong candidate,” Berch said. “Tennant is clearly grooming herself for something bigger, and that would be a marquee race also.” |

| -0.235677 | “She’ll probably face a primary, but I don’t know who they’d put up,” said Berch. “A tea-party candidate who could beat her in a primary would be at a disadvantage in the general election against whomever. Clearly Capito is the most electable Republican.” |

- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
