Rockefeller says he will run again for West Virginia Senate
U S Senator Jay Rockefeller described himself as a happy camper and running again for his Senate seat in 2002. He spoke during breakfast with about 70 friends at Johnston's Restaurant in Princeton and toured highway construction sites and a future federal prison site in McDowell County. He emphasized his eagerness to regain the Veterans Affairs Committee chair as Democrats, after a party switch by Sen. James Jeffords, hold a Senate majority. Rockefeller ruled out a 2004 presidential bid and affirmed he will be on the 2002 ballot.
