Does the Governor's Shirt Color Matter in West Virginia Politics? YES!

Or rather, what is and isn’t fair criticism of West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey, no such thing as “fair” in politics, Jim Justice looming, and more WV politics talk

All heck is breaking loose in West Virginia’s gubernatorial politics.

After weeks if not months of speculation US Senator and former WV Governor Jim Justice openly admitted he is considering another run his old job. The current governor, Patrick Morrisey, was already on a string of bad press before that, and over the weekend found himself at the center of another controversy. Center being the key word, as he flipped the coin for WVU football’s home opener wearing a dark blue WV State Parks polo surrounded by 60k West Virginians all wearing white. Because all WVU fans knew to wear white.

Is that fair? On this Heard Tell we talk about how there is no such thing as fair in politics, that Charleston Gazette piece that I think was over the line critical of Patrick Morrisey, the reasons why Gov. Morrisey is having a rough go of it, thoughts on the quasi-primary that appears to be under way, and what it all means. Or should mean, if we were a more serious people than apparently we are.

All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.
