Phil Kabler still crying over Raese's loss to Manchin

Shorter Phil Kabler of the Charleston Gazette: Joe Manchin campaigned dirty by stating the truth about John Raese's crazy policy ideas and Florida residency but John Raese ran a clean campaign by lying about Manchin and President Obama's policies.

Kabler is another mainstream pundit who is not as good as West Virginia Blue blogger Clem at predicting results. Like Hoppy Kercheval, Kabler had predicted a Raese win and thought Jesse would be more of a factor unlike our very own Clem who nailed it.

Kabler also makes the erroneous claim that newspapers across the state did not report on the federal investigation into the Manchin administration. The stories were in newspapers across the state. Voters also just don't care about the gossipy non-issues that Kabler pushes regularly in his column.

Hoppy and Kabler are not paid to be right (0.00 / 0)

they're paid to be on the right and produce what their bosses want.

It's not that we have better prognosticating tools. We just stick to reality.

Kabler's still pushing the Saint Raese myth (0.00 / 0)

and insisting that the Florida Republican would rather lose than go negative.

I guess Phil failed to notice that every Raese ad was an attack on Manchin and Obama and that Raese never produced a positive spot detailing his own positions.

And I wonder where Phil was 4 years ago when Saint Raese attacked Robert Byrd over his wife's gravesite.

Of course he's still crying over the Raese loss. He lost his prediction. I wanted to call him and put some bucks up but I knew he was to chicken to take it.
