WV-SEN 2018: Haunted Manchin

[TarHeelDem]

How long do we think it will take for mainstream punditry to move this race to Likely D? The resistance is fascinating to me.

Cocaine Mitch wins again.

Still Lean-D though.

Just in, CNN shifts WV Senate from tossup to lean D.

Lol. This race became Likely Dem weeks ago. Bless their hearts.

Looks like Manchin has the slight edge for reelection. So do yall think he and other red state dems if they win will get to be more aggressive, left wing, and stand up to Trump more if reelected?

I would say he has much more than a "slight edge". The race has been Likely D for awhile now, no?

[TarHeelDem]

I can't believe we're still talking about this race. Don't think it's as competitive as the conventional wisdom thinks (or would like) it to be.

The reactions here when Manchin wins by double digits are going to be priceless.

Really bad news

this is really not good. Shifting this thing from tilt D back to tilt R, expecting a narrow edge out for Morrisey again.

For the love of god, stop.

No surprise there. Likely D race is Likely D. That money is better spent elsewhere.
