Manchin was a family friend of the Saban family while they were growing up in WV. Saban’s dad even coached him when he played youth sports. Manchin is a rare Blue Dog Democrat who is more conservative than most GOP in his neighboring state of Ohio. Even though he did vote to confirm Kavanaugh, I still hope he loses.
I just learned an old friend is running for a spot locally as a Dem. Damn. Puts you in spot. But still going to vote red.
Agree wholeheartedly. As you say, some blue dog Dims are more conservatives then Republicans. But in the end they vote for the same speaker of the house, the same senate majority leader, etc.
