Gets him out of the conundrum he’s in for hitching his political wagon to Hillary and Obama.
AND it opens a WV seat to be filled by a Republican!

OR he could simply run as a Republican next time, virtually guaranteeing a GOP pickup.

As with Heitkamp there is nothing in it for Manchin so why would he agree?
To: Buckeye McFrog

No. Keep him away from guns. He should be pro-coal enough, I imagine.

I was thinking about Joe for either Interior or Energy earlier today was that Heidi Heitkamp was being considered.... Heidi for Ag!

Because he chained himself wrist-and-ankles to a party that vowed to destroy the coal industry. He is liable to get his head handed to him in the next election no matter what happens.

Don’t forget. On Dec 10, the Louisiana runoff will give us another Republican senator.

Governor is a Democrat and would probably appt a Democrat to fill his seat until the next election (2018?)

There’s EVERYTHING In IT for Manchin. He’d be on the winning team. Sure beats being a loser any day of the week.

No! The problem is West Virginia just elected a Democrat as Governor, so if they pull Manchin out, he would be replaced by a more popular Dem - Manchin has ZERO chance of winning in 2018. For one thing, his daughter is the CEO of the company responsible for raising the price of the EpiPen!
This is the play he needs to use with Heitkamp, from North Dakota, she's pro-oil, and a female, and the Governor is a Republican! Pull her as energy secretary, and have her replaced by a Republican!

How certain is it for the Republican candidate to win this?
