CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin has made his choice clear that he's voting for Sen. Barack Obama for president.
But when it comes to bipartisan work as a governor, Sarah Palin is someone Manchin doesn't mind having as a colleague.
"It was so funny. This past summer we were all together at an NGA conference and I said, 'How did you get involved?' She said, 'Joe, you aren't going to believe it,' and now the whole world knows it."
A photo of Manchin and Palin appeared Thursday on the New York Times Web site. It was taken at a National Governors Association Meeting. At one time, Manchin was the chair of the Natural Resources Committee, and Palin was the vice chair.
Manchin said the two mainly discussed energy.
"Tim Polante was putting together an energy plan that I didn't agree with. Sarah didn't agree with it, so it was bipartisan. We thought it was wrong because coal and energy and all we have in this country -- we felt it had to be used to our best interest and to be less dependent on foreign oil."
When Manchin is asked how Palin could help West Virginia regarding energy policies, he shifts attention back to his Democratic counterparts. Manchin also said that despite the comments Joe Biden made about clean coal last week, he knows that Obama understands the need for clean coal technology because Illinois is a mining state.

Yeah he is gonna cut them.. LOL.. just like Slick Willie did.. same lies, sounds good too.. ( no taxes, free healthcare Yeah Obama is running on the same lies that Slick Willie did.. ( no taxes, free healthcare) and simple people believe it.
Obama is not a Muslim, GOP. Stop spreading filthy lies. Obama is the only candidate who is going to cut your taxes if you're making less than $250,000 a year. Vote McCain and we'll all be living on the streets. And to those voting for Palin because you think she's cute, are you that sexually frustrated??
I am from WV. and still have family there, so I have right to comment on Manchin's idea of Obama. Obama and Osama.. not much diffence.. except that Osama is proud to state that he is a terrorist,, and a muslim.. Obama tries to conceal it.. a vote for Obama is a vote for Osama.. and don't forget.. Ayers,,,, Rev. Wright.. and that Father Flanagan idiot.. go ahead and vote for CHANGE.. and they will change it alright.... to the darkside... Pure evil, demonic forces.. American haters.. shame shame shame on Manchin.. looks like he is another one from the darkside..
