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.

Regina- I'm surprised to see the 3rd party vote up at 44%. There must be
a lot of unhappiness with Manchin and the R. Or we are loading up the voting. Since the question was asked in the hypothetical, I voted. Harvard

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.
