I just got here 16 years ago. Thought Manchin was a decent governor compared to what I had seen for the previous 57 years in NY.
Wholebunchalotta "Captain of the Ship of State" certificates still out there.
Actually my late father would say this about Manchin, “Yes he was a decent governor. He actually believed that businesses had a right to exist.” His point being highly unusual views for a WV Rat. Still my father had little use for him but in those that was the best you got for a Rat.
My father was on the state GOP executive committee, I remember committee meeting in our house when I was a kid. It seemed like all the WV GOP’ers were in our living room.
