Even Manchin struggled to beat a carpet-bagger in an off year
This is what people remember - because it did briefly look like what was going on - but isn't what actually happened. Manchin won by 10pts.
Which isn't predictive, of course. But a reminder to double check results as memory can be deceptive.
Also a more basic problem: What in hell's name are you doing labeling John Raese a "carpetbagger"?
The man was born and raised in WV. His businesses are largely connected with WV, and he's been running for statewide office for THREE DECADES. His dad was even a former WVU basketball coach for crissakes!
