Joe Manchin mulls West Virginia gubernatorial run in 2020
« on: September 02, 2019, 02:19:48 pm »
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is mulling a run for governor in West Virginia in 2020—a post he held nearly a decade ago.

Manchin, D-W.V., said he would make his decision on whether to remain in the Senate, where he just won re-election for another six-year term, or launch a gubernatorial bid.

“I’ve had a lot of inquiries they want me to come back home,” Manchin told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” last month. “I think people think maybe I should stay.”

He added: “We’re looking at it and I want to do what I can to help my state of West Virginia…It’s always been about West Virginia for me.”

I think that will be as good a chance as can be gotten.

Ugh, he was a lousy governor, but "flip" is the right word for Mojo - he never knows where he stands on an issue.

There's no oversight of a Senator. Mojo, dense as he is, understands this. Why live and work in Charleston, WV, where you get blamed for bad roads and lousy schools? He can stay in D.C., where he doesn't have to answer for anything.

20 years ago Joe would have been an example of bipartisanship.  That ship has been torpedoed and is resting 20 fathoms under the sea.
