Democrat Joe Manchin has a new ad in the West Virginia Senate race, attacking a variety of Republican John Raese’s right-wing positions.
The ad cuts together different video clips of Raese speaking: “I’ve already been defeated three times. That’s a pretty good message from West Virginia, I think. But I’m gonna tell you this…I don’t agree with minimum wage…I’m in the business of not providing jobs. I’m in the business of making money…We don’t need the Department of Education…We need 1,000 laser systems put in the sky — and we need it right now.”
An announcer cuts in: “John Raese’s ideas are crazy,” with the word “CRAZY” across the screen.
Then back to Raese: “Why am I running? Do I need this?”
The TPM Poll Average currently gives Manchin a lead of 46.9%-46.0%, in a race that has been neck-and-neck for several weeks.
