| Description | Former West Virginia University basketball coach Gale Catlett announced Friday he won't be a candidate for U.S. Senate in 2006 as some speculated.
"Coach Catlett is a valued member of the Republican Party, and we are grateful for his loyal and active participation,î" state Republican Party Chairman Robin Capehart said in a prepared statement. "A Catlett campaign for U.S. Senate - or in the 1st Congressional district next year - would be exciting, but the GOP will put forth a winning team when the filing deadline closes in January.î"
Capehart termed both U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., and U.S. Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., "vulnerable for re-election" in 2006.
The next question for the West Virginia Republican Party is just who will step up next year to run for U.S. Senate and the 1st District Congressional seat. Capehart couldn't be reached for additional comment Friday. |
