CHEAT SHEET
TOP 10 RIGHT NOW
It's easy to forget that Joe Manchin is a Democrat. After all, the freshman senator from West Virginia declined, ahead of his 2010 election, to endorse either President Obama nor Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. He was also the star of a viral video in which he vowed to challenge everything the Obama administration stands for while shooting a rifle at the cap-and-trade bill. Now Manchin is reasserting his independence from his own party by making clear that he's not sure who he'll vote for in the presidential election.
