Is the governor of West VA a republican or democrat?

Joe Manchin is a "Pro Buisness" Democrat - whatever that is. He just took the oath of office yesterday for his second term.

Manchin would qualify as a Blue Dog Democrat. Fiscal conservative, pro gun, but pro choice and has some potential baggage with a relative receiving a phantom degree from WVU. In my book he is more conservative than all Rino’s.
