Can't quarrel with you..the votes in 2008 speak for themselves, but 2010 was a big change, and the trend line favors the GOP. If this was another off-year election, Manchin might have, but with Obama atop the ticket, that's gonna really hurt him.

WVs are so used to voting straight ticket Dem..( thanks to Sheets,)...but that's gonna change. GOP wins the state house, and this time it will be hard for Manchin to explain why they should vote for him...since his firtst votge will be for Reid as leader...Nope, the jig's up for the Dems in WV

BTW, if you want to see another Dead Man Walking..check out Jay Rockefeller...even money he retires...Shelly Capito is already measuirng the drapes in the ofice, and maybe they can take out that filthy, corrupt POS Rahall for a bonus

Sure do. WVA voted for McCain by a 13% margin.
