WV-SEN 2018: Haunted Manchin

[Politician]

If Blankenship does win because of a "Chinaperson" and "Cocaine Mitch" message, I can only imagine the bigoted lunacy we'll soon be hearing out of Chris McDaniel.

Hopefully a Blankenship nomination boosts McDaniel

A 2 clowns for 1 special

Espy for Senate!!!

Politico editorial on the race. It was hacking of them to put King Lear on their payroll.

Stopped reading as soon as it said "muh map".

This race is incredibly overhyped, Ojeda is definitely more likely to win than Morrisey. Remember when Blankenship losing the R primary meant that this would be a Tossup by default? Yeah, me neither.

You're right, it was LIKELY R and Manchin was DOA.

Likely D. If Jenkins was the nominee, it would be closer but still Lean D.

Still not sure why all the “experts” believe that this race is guaranteed to be much more competitive than MT or why Morrisey is supposedly a stronger candidate than ROSENdale.

"Rosen" goes in Rosendale! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!! Heller and Tester are locks once the public is informed.

So, what’s IceSpear's current take on this race?

Toss up. Manchin is overrated and the possibility of a last minute Morrisey surge is vastly underrated here and among the pundits.

But I realize there's no point in arguing this since Manchin won the July election and that's what truly matters to political junkies, so whatever. We'll see what happens.

If you meant WV-03, I still think it's lean/likely R. Ojeda will probably collapse once god emperor Trump endorses his opponent and all the Racist WV Hicks remember he's a member of the anti-white hate group i.e. the Democratic Party.

The anti-white hate group they've been members of their whole lives? Yeah, no.

[Politician]

Still Likely D.

Missed opportunity for the GOP. Could have been interesting if Blankenship or Jenkins had won the primary instead of the nightmarish candidacy of Patrick Morrissey.

LMAO

I’m not sure how much of a spoiler she’ll be with 3 votes.

Let's hope you are right. There is no mountain party nominee, so I could see her grabbing 3-4% of the vote.

Manchin will likely win by 5-10% anyway, and Justice won in 2016 with Pritt taking 5% from him.

[Politician]

That's it, last straw for me, I'm writing Manchin off. Here's to hoping we can at least pull off upset wins in Indiana and Missouri, and keep our favored race positions in AZ and NV. Hopefully we maintain footing in Montana as well, and grab the house. If we can, it will still be a good night.

What part of "Morrissey internal" don't you understand?

[Politician]

lol, you're all acting as if Manchin is more vulnerable than Heitkamp.

No, I rate ND as safe R and WV as a toss up.

Both of those ratings are really bad. Rating any incumbent losing as a guarantee is generally a bad idea.
