Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia says he’s unsure whether he’ll vote for President Barack Obama or likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
In a statement Friday, Manchin said he has real differences with both Obama and Romney. He also said many West Virginians believe the last 3 ½ years have not been good.
One of the more moderate Senate Democrats, Manchin is seeking re-election this year in a state Obama lost to Republican Sen. John McCain, 56-43 percent, in 2008. Obama fared worse in the Democratic primary against Hillary Rodham Clinton, losing 67-26 percent.

This a sign of a man with no convictions. I hate weasels who just want to get re-elected. Spinless twit.
I have a feeling there are more ‘08 Obama voters in that camp than El Presidente would like to admit.

West Virginia’s coal mining industry is taking a pounding under Obama’s EPA and Manchin is NOT standing up for them. Saying he rejects Obama and will not vote for him in November should send a loud message.
Manchin is campaigning for Manchin here.
No more, no less.
The guy has no integrity whatsoever.
O is destroying the coal industry, which is a lifeline in W Va. But can we believe what any democrat says?
Manchin will say/do whatever gets him elected!
He needs to get his head out of his a** and take a little risk. Show some guts man!
BS. Not moderate, just another opportunist looking out for himself.
While I would rather the seat be Republican, I think tactically it is a good think to have some unreliable senators for the Democrats. Look how much we suffered from the stupidity of Olympia Snowe... wouldn’t be so bad to see Democrats have to continue deal with their own version of it.
hattend says he's a liar.
Senator, YOU LIE!!!
