(55,894 posts)It's clear that WV isn't going to get a more liberal Democrat.

You make a good point, but Manchin may be compromised somewhat with the mess that his daughter was in? He may lose to a Republican, anyway?

(82,849 posts)You know, how a lot of people in West Virginia can see a doctor now or get treatment for black lung or don't have to watch the tops of mountains blown off anymore.
