Well, it is West Virginia. He is probably the most qualified person there.
If only he was on death row. Then he would be a definite.

More than qualified, I'd say.

Reminds me of a (not very good) Terry Pratchett story about a fictional Australia in which politicans are put in jail as soon as they are elected "to save time".

Haha. I wish! I go by the philosophy of "anyone who wants power should never be given it".

Unless the "power" if 40 000 volts from old sparky.

You mean he didn't win the vote?

West Virginia 1 – 0 Taidong County

Why is anyone surprised. They elected a former KKK member to the Senate for decades and decades. I don't think a federal inmate is any worse than the late Sen. Byrd.
