CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Gov. Joe Manchin is asking President Barack Obama to help West Virginia's car dealerships.
In a letter to Obama, the governor urged him to carefully consider the consequences of plans by General Motors and Chrysler to close a large number of their dealerships.
Manchin said the plan would eliminate dozens of long-standing franchised dealers in the state and put hundreds out of work. He also said closing the dealerships would impact the state's road fund and result in a loss of payroll and sales taxes.
Manchin also questioned how manufacturers that are receiving federal bailout dollars can shut down independent businesses that pay their own way.

Hey Mojo... Here's an idea: Get on your knees, pucker up, and kiss harder then you ever have before. Lot of good your "Superdelegate" vote did, huh? Maybe you should write a letter to Hillary instead. She at least seems to like WV.
