Three high-profile Democrats from West Virginia are not planning to attend the Democratic National Convention in September.
Sen. Joe Manchin, Rep. Nick Rahall and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin have opted not to go to the convention in Charlotte, according to a West Virginia Democratic Party press release.
President Barack Obama is not popular in the state, and in 2010, Manchin ran a TV ad openly attacking the administration on cap-and-trade. Manchin, who is on the ballot again in November and does not face a difficult race, had already said this spring he wasnt sure he would vote for Obamas re-election.

Ok, *new* companies. I get it. Funny, I didn’t notice that one distinction before. I am usually aware of weasel wording.
The donks here in WI are in mourning. Clinical depression. They will ramble from talking about the election to how their kids have *rejected our lifestyle” (old, hypocritical hippies). These are folks who somehow never thought it out that their electric bills, their professions, their savings would be impacted. They either have money or are dependent on those who do for income via jobs or as customers and still rant against *the rich*. Their state of cognitive dissonance is extreme. They may not vote, as they think zerO is too *corporate*.
I may not have remembered his bankrupting coal speech correctly. I thought he was just promising to bankrupt new coal companies... Which translates into less competition. I have been wrong many times before.
Wise move fellas, with the trannies there and everything, that’s not WV values.
It would be real nice to see the Governor lose the rematch.
Even nicer if Manchin did as well though that appears much less likely running against Raese again.
Rahall’s House opponent was named a GOP “young gun”.
