website called predictit lets you make bets on political races and their outcomes. I look forward to taking your money on things. I dont generally bet on non local races however. But I do on other things.

Ojeda will help the national (D)'s less than Joe Manchin.
The flaw here is that even if you believe that, no dem runs as pro wall street.

No they don't. I didn't say they did. It's why they lost large majorities. The GOP has no qualms admitting to it, so they get that vote. The (D)'s do it but don't own up to it and lose those like myself.

I was reading an article today about infighting in the (D) party because many want to appeal more to the "right". The "right" isn't going to vote for (D)'s because they throw them a bone.

Whatever, I guess they will never learn.

A fiery populist Democrat running for Congress in Southern West Virginia raised more campaign funds this past quarter than any other House of Representatives candidate in the state.

State Sen. Richard Ojeda, D-Logan, whose bid has garnered a whirlwind of attention from national media, raised more than $300,000 last quarter, leaving him with about $163,000 in the bank, according to the latest batch of quarterly campaign reports to the Federal Election Commission.

Democrats didnt expect to be competitive in some of these districts, and that is why candidate recruitment is key
