I was also shamed into voting for him.

And I will NOT do it again.

I always wonder why people like that are R's.

The answer always used to be, Well, I'm a fiscal conservative. So what's the answer now?

I was shamed into voting for him

Never ever again. I remember distinctly driving down 522 with one of our county's big Dems practically screaming thru my phone that I "had" to vote for him. If this is the best we can do, I'd rather not vote at all. I remember clicking the button next to his name, thinking "I am going to regret this." And here we are. If Obama is the best, this guy is definitely THE WORST. And if I ever see his picture on West Virginia Blue's masthead next to our beloved Byrd's, I will be out of here! He is a disgrace!

Loved it

Of course this video is viral now. She makes such a good case and makes all the knee-jerk neo-cons in her Party look like the Neanderthals they all are.

Manchin ($-WV)

Yes, the dollar sign is deliberate.

I've been content to read the commentary here without joining the site until now. Former Governor Manchin does NOT represent Democrats in West Virginia. I'd have more respect for him if he switched parties.

Again.

He is the guy whose political machine (aka Party Hierarchy) runs the state. He is the guy the voters keep electing, yet he is the guy no Democrat can stand, yet he is the "popular governor/senator" etc. because all the talking heads say so. He is the guy who calls all the shots and you had better heed his wishes or you won't get your turn, and risk being labeled as unelectable by the Party Hierarchy. He is the guy who is a disgrace to the Democratic Party and the memory of Robert C. Byrd.

Why switch

when a politician like Joe Manchin can declare himself a Democrat, yet continuously side with Republicans and still get the vote of WV Democrats?

Joe Manchin is a Republican

It's becoming very apparent that our Senator has moved in with the right wing. I honestly believe he only uses the "D" to find a place on the ticket.

The Constitution Party? You're joking, right?

It was a suggestion. Not that people have to choose but there are other groups or people who could run or are running. Personally I would like to see a write in candidate. If there were one to come into the race. My point is there are other candidates running or people could start a draft movement to elect someone who isn't running. We don't have to be tied down to party lines to get someone who's going to work for West Virginia in office.

He has until March 26 to file as write-in

WV26003 — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:26:11 GMT

At least for the primary election.

§3-6-4a. Filing requirements for write-in candidates.

Actually, that's a GREAT idea

WV26003 — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:19:06 GMT

Writing in Ken Hechler. What a fitting honor for one of West Virginia's distinguished statesmen.

I'm voting for KEN!

I'd write in for a 95 year old before I voted for SHeirl Fletcher, another wolf in sheep's clothing. Pro-coal and Pro-life. Sorry.

That would be me

except for the ovaries and lymph nodes, thank goodness, and the being a Komen supporter in the first place. I always found the pink, the cheer, and the use of the disease to do marketing offensive.

The Constitution Party? You're joking, right?

WV26003 — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:22:13 GMT

You'd actually encourage someone to vote for the neo-fascist party?

We knew what we

MadAnne — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:35:44 GMT

Were getting.

The person who's running against Manchin

WV2012 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:16:47 GMT

There is a person running against him. SHEIRL FLETCHER is their name. I don't know much about them but they are listed as a candidate. If you don't want to vote for that person then vote for someone else. The Constitution Party is running someone and I think the Mountain Party is also running someone. Just a thought to those of you who seem to not like Joe.
