I have to say the real failure here is on the part of Raese and the Republicans. Joe Manchin shot a bullet through the “Cap and Trade” bill and that created a perception that he was somehow conservative. Raese and the GOP did not do a good enough job pointing out the obvious—that Manchin would be Harry Reid’s b___tch whenever his vote was really needed.

The other side of the coin is that perhaps West Virginians really aren’t that conservative. Its a populist state that isn’t comfortable with wine and cheese Limousine Libs like Obama but that doesn’t make them conservative. Maybe they really want Communist medicine.

They continue to vote for Rockefeller every 6 years. That should tell you something about WV.

West Virginians are pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun, pro-coal and pro-military.

They are also pro-lawyer and pro-government cheese. Good golly, are they ever pro-government cheese.

They are the epitome of the Mike Huckabee so-con constituency.
