Can anyone explain what’s going on in West Virginia? I thought for sure Republicans had this in the bag.

IMHO, the same thing that is happening in so many places where there should be a blow out. Too many people vote on the ‘I like this guy’ emotion, not enough on the ‘what’s really best for us’

We no longer educate our populace to think, we ‘emoticate’ them. They like Manchin as a Gov so figure what the heck, rather than looking at the fact that as Gov, he leads, as senator he will have to follow the party, and don’t think he won’t follow them.

Manchin’s pumped alot of money in the last few days with some ...must be ...effective ads....but I don’t buy it. He can take Rockefellers senate seat and finish his term as gubner

Nothing is ever in the bag, unless you live in Chicago or Boston or NY or... some other big city. Here, we see the unions spending lots of time and effort to bolster Manchin. Yet, he signed a "cap and trade" bill.

Raese is gonna be the new guy. Sarah is betting her time on it!
