Election 2010: West Virginia Senate Special Election: Raese (R) Pulls Further Ahead of Manchin (D)

Rasmussen Reports ^ | October 06, 2010

Yes, but he will be a Senator, not a Rep.

[US Navy Vet]

Rep=GOP

[Plutarch]

Oh, I hope that Obama doesn't go campaign for Manchin!

[Redleg Duke]

Thank you...my mistake.

[Redleg Duke]

HOwever, if he is treated like Brown was, Reid will delay his swearing in as long as possible.

I had the same pic saved on Photobucket, but they recently deleted it because it doesn’t meet their “standards” anymore.

Providing Raese pulls this out, which is looking likely, I would be so grateful to the people of KY for getting us this seat which nobody saw coming. This would be a huge win in so many ways.

[Clintonfatigued]

This is amazing. If we could pick up the seats formerly held by Byrd and Obama and also knock off Harry Reid, we’ll have scored the ultimate political triumph.

[Impy]

I wonder what Sheets is doing?

He's decomposing.

Maybe it’s good she didn’t run. Manchin could have hit her from the right on abortion.

“Maybe it’s good she didn’t run. Manchin could have hit her from the right on abortion.”

That’s what I was saying from the second it was reported that Robert Byrd was very ill. Conservative Democrat voters are always looking for an excuse to vote Democrat, and Capito’s “pro-choice” stand would be the fig leaf they would need to vote for Manchin “because he’s actually more conservative on some issues.” Running a 100% conservative such as Raese leaves the Democrats with no wiggle room.

I read today that Manchin has decided to join the numerous other states who are suing the gubmint over Obamacare. Talk about a “hail Mary”. He only waited...ummm...6 months to make this decision. And with only a few weeks to go before the election. Couldn’t be political expediency - nah.

[AuH2ORepublican]

I thought that Manchin was suing the feds over their coal policies, not ObamaCare. Or did he sue the feds twice today?

[randita]

Oops - my mistake. Thanks for catching it. It was the EPA. I misread the headline.

But...I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he was a “johnny come lately” to the Obamacare lawsuit. Anything it takes to win. Then after he’s firmly ensconced, he would claim he it was all taken out of context.
