41. The thing about Manchin is that he was the best we could ever possibly get out of WV...

... he's the only Democrat that WVians would vote for, so as bad as he was, we were lucky to have him and his "D" (if not his votes) to bring us closer to having a majority. On the other hand, in PA... we can do better. The PAian voters are swing/purpleish... and other fine candidates are certainly electable.

I'm "thankful" that it was Fetterman over Oz... but it could have been, should have been Lamb instead. If Bernie had chosen to put his endorsement and election machinery behind a better candidate we would not be here talking about this today.

Fetterman definitely had Bernie fooled, and his endorsement really helped to bring out the "progressive vote" for a candidate who isn't as progressive as we were told he'd be.
