I started the weekend in this camp but I also watched Manchin's interview on MSNBC this morning. I put them on for the very reason of seeing with my own eyes what was being said.Peoples' well of emotion is not bottomless. We, as a country, will soon move in to Christmas and then the next earthquake or political scandal. That's why it's important for the anti's to strike now. They know we'll soon lose interest. We just have to weather this storm.

And he and that Joe dip both tossed around their NRA A rating like a badge of honor and a certificate of authenticity.
