Bottom line: competitive if Capito runs, but probably no chance if she declines.

This is not until 2012...today, we cares. A whole lot can happen between today and 2012.

West Virginia is that far to the left?

This is not until 2012...today, we cares. A whole lot can happen between today and 2012.No, the WV AG has issued an opinion stating that they can have a special election in 2010. The question is whether Manchin, an extraordinarily popular Democratic governor in a Red State, will quit his safe position to run for Byrd's Senate seat.
it would be risky.

On economic issues, yes. Not so much on social issues.

He is really that popular?
My brother who lives there and travels throughout the state on business says that Manchin is not that popular.

Not true. Manchin can declare a special election for November 2010. He just got the Attorney General’s ruling today, I believe.
From what I hear, he has been a decent governor with fairly conservative policies. Hence he is popular. However, when in DC he will be daily voting to support Reid and 0bama. If his GOP opponent can successfully communicate this, he may have a hard time. Also, if he resigns to run his open Governor seat might be captured by a republican.

One would think if the (R) candidate runs on stopping “Cap&Tax”, he should win by a landslide considering its’ passage would financially bankrupt the state.

Manchin (D) 53%, Capito (R) 39% Funny, but Manchin lays claim to being pro-life. Capito doesn't, last I knew.

WV local politics is weird, and largely run by a (democRat Party) Good ol’ Boys network.

Capito is a squish on “life” issues ... she’s not an outright abortion supporter and has voted for some restrictions on abortion, but also voted in support of embryonic stem cell research.

Yeah. She’s not pro-life. Never has been.

I wouldn’t call her a RINO ... but she’s about as liberal a Republican as I could tolerate. It would be nice to see an actual conservative in that House seat.

Her rhetoric on life issues is worse than her voting record.

She thinks it’s okay to kill babies. In other words, unqualified for any office of trust in the United States.
