lol..this is a guy who had a 30 point lead in a Special Election and ended up winning by only 10 over a wealthy Repub buisness man Raesse....now Manchin has a voting record for Raesse to hammer him on in 2012.
Obama lost WV by 14 in the General...it's a locked in Romney state , I doubt you even see Obama campaign in the state...Manchin is looking out for his OWN job , and is basically out on an island all by himself.
This guy floated rumors about going over to the Repubs when he was elected in 2010...McCain , Graham and Lieberman and tried to sway him over.
We'll see if he has the stones to publically endorse Mittens , and if he does and happens to win re-election the Dems will strip him off all his committees and he'll be of NO use to his own consitituents.
Shoulda went Repub in 2010 Joe...now you're pretty much fucked.
