This is Raese’s to lose given that he had the upperhand much of the fall. If he lets Manchin get away with his tact to the right and doesn’t point out that the balance of power in the Senate between Obama’s agenda and an alternative is at stake, he probably deserves to lose. Manchin, despite some moderate stances, is still going to be a vote for the Dem majority and for the overall larger government, more intrusion that has failed so badly the past 18 months.
he does not "deserve" to lose....
the rats all over the country have hid behind their "conservative" ideals...remember, the rat congress from 4 yrs ago was supposed to be "conservative" too...
this is an extremely important seat and I hope Raese can pull it out....
