Tea Party must go door to door non-stop through Tuesday. Wake up the clueless.
I don’t know. The people of this state think that Joe Manchin is a good governor. I am having a hard time convincing conservatives in my church to back Raese. It is really sad.
Raese is going down. Manchin’s anti-DC ads are brilliant, and I saw Raese on CSPAN yesterday spouting bizaree crap at a CoC event. Sounded like a Northeast lockjawed blue blood.
If the voters there are idiot enough to send this Obama rubber stamp to the Senate, they are cutting their own throats. Manchin isn’t going to buck anything Obama and the ‘Rats want. Obama has already said in so many words that he will ruin the coal industry. If WV votes for that, they deserve all the misery they’re going to get.
In WV, that might not have been the smartest thing to say.
This race has flip-flopped quite a bit, so I'm hoping it will flip back. Manchin has the morals of a Charlie Crist.
Raese made a serious and needless mistake when he said that he absolutely favored abolishing the minimum. I think that was when he slipped several points, and it seems to be deteriorating further.
If Republicans want to blow any given election and keep the Dims in office, just start babbling about ending Social Security or abolishing the minimum wage. It’s poison, but some just can’t resist.
Maybe Raese will pull it out because WV should be sending conservatives to Congress for the long rur.
Don’t believe the polls, they have no way to predict the percentages of turnout. They are shooting an arrow in the air.
Pray for America
He needs to tell WV voters that their vote will allow democrat control of congress. He is running to take control of congress away from them.
Nuff said.
Hopefully, Raese does not let Manchin slip away from Obama and keeps pounding him with “rubber stamp” adds. It got hiim this far and will be the likely thing that carries him over the finish line.
Interesting. As someone who’s made less than ‘minimum’ for some time, I’d support him here.
From my seat it’s the unions who’s pay is based on some multiple of the minimum who are hurt hardest by this policy. It would mean that their compensation would likely go down and better reflect their value.
You obviously know nothing about statistical sampling. Like it or not statistics is a science.
I know that a poll with a sample size under 900 likley voters isn’t worth much to start with :)
...likely...
We have fallen far when the main strategy in politics is to see who can best sway the nose-picking, illiterate morons in society to vote for you. The stupidest people in the nation are literally controlling America because they deteremine who wins elections.
I hope Raese does pull this out. And he should have spent more time linking Manchin to Obama and what Obama’s agenda would do to the WV coal industry.
And he should never have mentioned abolishing the minimum wage. That’s not going to happen. All they can or should do is keep it at a low end level. Polls show 70% to 80% support for the minimum wage, and for raising it periodically.

Point out to them how it was the so-called Blue Dogs who passed Obamacare. Just like the Blue Dogs in the House, the so-called Senate Democratic moderates will perhaps vote against Obama on one or two relatively inconsequential votes, but then be with Obama on everything else. Remind them not a single Senate Democrat, not even supposed moderates like Ben Nelson or Mary Landrieu, voted against Obamacare nor the stimulus. They may have made a little noise for effect, but then were bribed into toeing the Obama line.
