Governor Joe Manchin of West Virginia is impressing me as he handles this latest coal mining disaster and tragedy. I know he is a Democrat, has relatives who were coal miners, and is a recently elected governor. This guy communicates well under stress and he seems to have a way with people, appears to have a calming effect on those in a crisis. I know he was accused during the election of being too close to interests hostile to the business interests meaning coal mining magnates (although these same interests gave him money; they knew he might win)in his state which is another feather in his cap as well as I am concerned. How about the Dems running him for a high office on the federal level? He might be the Dems answer to Guiliani. Anyway, this may be pie in the sky or naive but he seems good. Any politicos out there who see the same potential in this guy. I am a long way from West Virginia so this is may all be pie in the sky. Any politicos thinking about this out there?
