The poll is here.

So, I have to change my prediction on this race to Dem. Raese may still win it, but the odds are low. So assuming Rossi really wins in Washington, it appears that the GOP takeover of the Senate was stopped in the hollows of the WV hills - quite an oddity for a state that holds Obama in such low esteem.

It's really Raese's fault for his hick ad controversy. He had it in the bag but fumbled it.

To be fair, that's not so much Raese's fault so much as it is the folks who were hiring for the ad, but ... yeah.

I doubt if the hick thing had much to do with it. The mansion ads and the minimum wage thing, I think are what eroded Raese at the margins. That is what Manchin's attack ads were about. Plus Manchin went heavily blue dog.

The wave is dead as soon as Manchin is declared the winner on election night.


And there you have it!  Tongue  You know, the borders of the US expand beyond WV. Just a thought.

As usual, the GOP bungles races late in the game and makes what should have been a great night just pretty good.

The wave is dead as soon as Manchin is declared the winner on election night.

There are no races where the GOP candidate surprises with a win due to a late surge.  Some wave...

What a bunch of overblown bunk.

Stop trolling.

Nah, the post is almost good enough for the Comedy Goldmine actually. Smiley
