IF a conservative "friend of coal" gets the nomination, I can see Manchin actually campaigning for him/her

if not, Manchin and the Democratic hierarchy here will sit this one out like they've done for campaigns in Capito's district and in the first district this year

how can Manchin campaign against candidates who are bought and paid for by the same people who have bought and paid for him
