6. I agree - but it's not about enthusiasm. It's about the reality of the 2018 ballot in WV.

Oct 2018

Joe Manchin - D
Patrick Morrisey - R
Don Blankenship - Constitution
Rusty Hollen - Libertarian.

No registered write-in candidates that I could find.

So who's the choice. Joe or ?????

I don't like Joe any more than the next Dem but he's the furthest left of the group so, by definition, he would get my vote 8 days a week. I'd like someone further left to have a realistic chance but it ain't so.
