I have known Opal Sanders for 18 years. During those years, I have had the privilege to call her one of my dearest friends. That is why I would like to recommend her to the citizens of Cabell County as a qualified candidate for magistrate. Unfortunately, I live in Wayne County and am unable to vote for her. However, I can't think of anyone I would rather see in office than her.

Editorial: Clinton is best choice for W.Va. Democrats

Even at this late date, West Virginia is important as members of the Democratic Party slug it out in choosing their next candidate for president. It's been a long time since that has been true -- 1960, probably. At this point, Democrats must ask themselves which of the two remaining candidates -- Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton -- would make the best candidate and which would make the best president. From here, the answer is the same person: Clinton.
