You have that right but the real reason Manchin won was two fold. Personal attacks on Raese did the vast majority of damage. Raese didn’t run up Manchin’s negatives. He stayed on message till the end but I heard some of the nasty class warfare commercials against Raese and unfortunately they worked.

Manchin is a popular governor.
