Your excerpt, "Among the 34 percent of voters who just "somewhat approve" of the job Manchin is doing as governor..." is somewhat misleading. According to the article, Manchine has an overall favorable rating of 70%. IMO, he's not done a bad job as governor and this could be a very good thing. My fellow Mountaineers may not want to lose him to the Senate.

How is that misleading? It means exactly what it says.

You WILL lose him to be a rubber stamp for obama if he becomes a Senator, its how DC works.

Anyone who thinkg Manchin will be any different from the other ‘blue dog’ Pelosi poodles and Reid cronies and Obama Democrats is fooling themselves.

“IMO, he’s not done a bad job as governor and this could be a very good thing. My fellow Mountaineers may not want to lose him to the Senate.”

Why is he a RAT? May have been different in the past but I don’t trust anyone in that party - even if they seem ‘well intentioned’ or seem to be doing a good job. Fact is, they are caucusing with a socialist party and they need to be asked and answer the question WHY? Mebbe he should switch parties?
