Joe Manchin Not Endorsing Reid for Leader, Obama for President

SMART MAN, AND THAT IS WHY HE KEPT HIS SEAT.

After reading the political races around the nation, I can only make one point or maybe a few. Every person running for office and is behind, will say and do everything in their respective power to get the vote. I cannot understand a country that allows anyone to run for an office that spends millions of dollars on a $200,000 job. It just does not make any sense. First of all, every representative of states based on number of people is in the house. I am not sure what the number is... however, if these people go to Washington and vote according to their districts, instead of their parties, we would be so much further ahead. I am tired of people following the party instead of following the people. This would create bipartianism. As far as the Senate, we only get two per state (thank GOD). Nontheless, they also should vote regarding how the state feels about an issue. This would bring the government to the people instead of party lines. Remember this will bring government for the people, by the people. One last thing. Why doesn't America lower the corporate tax rate for all businesses doing business in America. In other words, if Ford would sell a car in America, the corporate rate would be 10%, however, if they sell that car in China, then they would pay 20%. We can always talk about businesses having their company in America and only sells in America. Which I think should be the lowest tax break of all. I do not like companies that sell in America, but move to Mexico for lower labor. These companies should be charged the highest rate of tax.

Joe is not going to make it.He needs the southern and ohio countys and he does not have them.He has focused on Fairmont and Morgontown to much and left the rest of WV hanging out to dry.

Finallly, a Democrat with some integrity...

This election for the democrats has turned into the biggest farce ever. Now they are all running for cover lying to their constituents telling them they are conservative. I wouldn't trust one for as far as I could throw him. If people are that stupid, they deserve what they get. Look at his record as Governor and see just how conservative he is. It's dishonesty at the highest level. Not just for Manchin, but all of these wolves in sheep clothing.

Desperate times lead to desperate comments; a democrat claims to be conservative in order to win robert byrd's seat? You know that it is 4th and a mile for the democrats, and will say anthing to get elected. I just hope the people of West Virginia are smarter than manchin assumes.

I am a West Virginian following this race closely. Manchin is so desperate that he will say just about anything to become the Seanator that he thought was his birthright. Balance of power is absolutely vital in Washington to stop Obama's assault on our freedoms and economy. WV desparately needs someone to balance jay Rockefeller's rubber stamp of Reid, Obama and all things left wing.

Joe, the solution is easy, and if this article is correct you need to change your party to republican.

The only way to stop Obama is to vote against all democrats. Remove the democrats from power and you will stop Obama._________________________________________________Are you avocateing one party system..cadd? I am an Independent, who don't care about Obama's distructive policies but, I would not want to see a one party system in Washington..Check and Balance is always needed!!!

Much has been said and written about conservative Republicans forcing the moderates out of their party. Here we have an example of the opposite...moderate and conservative Democrats have no place as their party lurches to the left. Manchin has been an exemplary governor...but in Washington voters fear that he'll be yet another Democrat forced to rubber stamp the administration's policies. Even with the commercial where Manchin loads his rifle and fires a round into the cap and trade bill, the public is suspicious (and not without reason). He'll take care of West Virginia...but will it be the same way that Ben Nelson of Nebraska (The Cornhusker Kickback)or Mary Landreau of Louisiana (The Lousiana Purchase) "took care" of their state in return for backing Obama's agenda? Kentucky has long been Republican in national issues while every bit as Democratic as West Virginia in state races. Perhaps there is something sensible here...at least until the Democratic party regains the centrist position.
