Joe Manchin actually said...

"I`m thinking of people like Joe Manchin, who is clinging to the filibuster like a binky and saying he`ll never let it go no matter what."

"Joe Manchin has said that he's interested in protecting the vote. He has some problems with some elements of this particular bill that he's thinks go beyond just voting."

"As your senator, I will protect our Second Amendment rights. That`s why the NRA endorsed me. I will take dead aim at the cap-and-trade bill. For me, it`s all about West Virginia."

"It grew in a bipartisan way."
