Tom B, well, I know that ONE won't be voting for him AFTER I say here I won't lol. That's me! I voted for him last time b/c I thought he would be a good Gov. He's not shown me anything but lies so he's not getting my vote this time for sure. I wonder just how many WVU teachers/profs/administrators AND students will vote for him? Hopefully NOT many! Their school has a black eye now & could lose $$$$ due to this scandal with HIS daughter. He needs to pay the piper too as well as WVU. Wouldn't you love to know what the deal really was for her to get her "degree"? I would. Our kids have to work/pay their way or if lucky on s'ships & loans AND they have to WORK for THEIR degrees. Only the rich, powerful & privileged don't. Like everything else in this country, the poor kids & young people don't count. I've had it with Gov Joe. He disappointed me big time & I have absolutely NO respect for him now at all. My vote will not go to him this time

I agree with the others Joe needs to go. Obviously he improperly used his office to influence WVU to give his daughter an unearned degree. let's see, she attended in '98, and gets the degree awarded Oct. '07, when he happens to be in office. Hmm, coincidence? I don't think so. Oh and those 20,000 jobs? Most likely Walmart or minimum wage somewhere. Manchin's a joke. let's vote him OUT.

Is 63% a strong lead? Or is that just enough encouragement for those who wish to vote against Manchin and vote for Mel Kessler? Think about it folks, how else, or how better, can you send a message?
