WV called for Manchin. My terror has gone down several notches.

That was a crucial firewall.

1. Very good news. K&R.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. Good

His Obama-bashing was apparently worth it in the end. :eyes: Hope he can work with President Obama now that he's won.

[Recursion]

4. He ran the campaign he had to run. It worked.

Nothing new there.

6. He'll have to be careful

Remember, he's up for election again in 2012 (since he's only finishing Byrd's unexpired term). Obama has a 69% disapproval rating in West Virginia. A real shame.

Believe me, Joe Manchin is far more conservative than Blanche Lincoln, and I don't see too many folks at DU shedding tears for her.

3. Breathing a little easier here too... n/t

[Saboburns]

5. It was a pleasure to vote for Manchin and Rahall

WV Republicans a re a slime assed bunch!!

Whew, I been sweating this one out.

[leftygolfer]

7. Why is Fox celebrating a Manchin win?!?!?!

Keep saying he's going to support a Republican Senate. Hey idiots, there's a D!!!! by his name! Damn it.

8. We probably won't have his vote on much except forming the majority

But, at this point, that's what's important.
