UPDATE 8/28/10
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Former Gov. Arch Moore is back home after recent hospitalization in Charleston.
Moore's daughter, U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, said in a statement Saturday that her father was back in Glen Dale, resting and continuing his recuperation.
The 87-year-old Marshall County resident was admitted to the hospital earlier this month for an undisclosed illness. Doctors evaluated Moore and ran tests, but officials did not provide other details.
A Republican, Moore was in Congress before serving three terms as governor between the late 1960s and the late 1980s. But he pleaded guilty to five corruption-related felonies in 1990 and spent 33 months in federal confinement.
The crimes cost Moore his law license. His occupations since include financial and government consulting.

Wow, WSAZ...you're still twisting the knife about Moore's past. What did he do to you other belong to the Republican party? I see you couldn't let the negative stuff go with Raese either. Journalism, please. Stick to the story line.
God bless you, Arch. You're human, and we all make mistakes. But you were a good governor. I wish you the best. I love Shelley. She is doing right by us in Washington. I correspond with her frequently, and she is RIGHT ON! You have a lot to be proud of in her. The legacy continues...
don't suppose you have ever did anything wrong.that was a long time ago. let it go.prayers go out to him and his family.
