Why would any progressive vote to increase the number of Republicans in the Legislature? Two years is too long to have either one in office, but someone who might vote with Obama is a better choice. Me, I'll probably vote for Jesse, probably not very astute either, but at least not a vote for Raese.

To my way of thinking, that's not very astute. Unlimited wealth is NEVER easy to defeat. Unlimited wealth coupled to unlimited Citizens United money is all but impossible to remove from office, once entrenched. There's no hog harder to move than the one's already go front AND back feet in the trough.

Or is this an election where King Coal wins regardless of which party, Dem or Rep? Both kiss His ass feverishly.

Personally, I think there IS a great deal of disenchantment w/ Manchin (and, by extension, w/ Raese).
Hopefully, I'll have an OpEd coming out in the Gazette pointing up that lack of enthusiasm for both candidates, and pointing out the alternative.
Again, personally, I think Manchin is so stuffed-to-popping with his own hubris that it doesn't even dawn on him that he's alienated a significant portion of the Democratic voting base via his sycophantic devotion to Big Poison. I don't think it dawns on Rahall, either, for that matter.
As Hunter Thompson once noted, "Big darkness, soon come." This may be one race where coal can't keep the lights on for either candidate.

On the lefthand side scroll down to the survey question and vote for 3rd party representation in WV. Ken Hechler and Larry Gibson have called this to my attention and we need some votes in favor of 3rd parties.
