Are there large number of Democrats crossing over to force Blankenship onto the Republican Ticket? This really needs to be changed. In some states, people who vote in primarys can only vote in the selection of the party to which they are registered to vote and help select. Hopefully people in West Virginia realize we have a fox in the henhouse.

Odd, the article claims to be authored by JOHN MCCORMACK.

You claimed to have authored it yourself.

Odd.

Watch the youtube of the debate if you want to know why.

Whose “internal polls” exactly? If they’re from the official Blankenship campaign or the NRSC, I wouldn’t take it too seriously.

What you say is what I’m thinking.

This kind of looks like the Judge Moore thing all over again.

Polls are not always indicative of what the actual election results may turn out to be.

Even the Democrats in West Virginia are not all that doctrinaire. There is a LOT of crossover among politicians, switching back and forth between “Democrat” and “Republican”, which in West Virginia does not mean the same thing it does in California.

At least, not until they get to Washington.

Here we go again. Another race like Mississippi, Alabama, Delaware, and Missouri.

Not commenting on any of these individual candidates, but how is it that Republicans getting themselves into this situation over and over again?

While I'm not a Blankenship supporter, I don't think the race is necessarily an automatic win for Manchin if he's the nominee. West Virginia voters have always had a oversized attraction to billionaire candidates (Jay Rockefeller, Jim Justice and Donald Trump come to mind) and Blankenship would certainly have a bottomless warchest in what is a dirt cheap media market (God, knows he's flooded every medium with ads just for the primary).

You aren’t the author why not put the actual authors name?

Roy Moore was beaten on allegations alone.
Blankenship is a criminal and is reponsible for 29 miners
losing their lives. These are facts. Not allegations.

You folks supporting Blankenship have death wishes.
Wise up.

Morrissey!

I see this in terms of Alabama: Morrissey is Brooks, the sold, stable conservative. Jenkins is Strange, the Establishment RINO “moderate”, and Blankenship is Moore, teh wildcard with the controversial and potentially dangerous, harmful past.

The whole plan is to ensure teh RINO wins, but can the RINO beat Manch8in in November? Good question.

Nominate Morrissey and win. Nominate Blankenship ans blow it.

Our election system is so corrupt as advantage ALWAYS goes to the left. It has to be fixed but it won’t.

[chalkfarmer]

Huh? You can’t cross over in WV.

[Thibodeaux]

These are the same democrats ravaged by the Obama war on coal that voted for Donald Trump.

These former democrats will decide the Senate race.
