It is just being reported that W. Virginia's pseudo-Democrat Joe Machin is not going to seek re-election as a DINO in W. Virginia.

To me, I say, good riddance.  Yes, I know his D allowed Dems to control the Senate, but it's time for him to go and for the Dems to just deal with it.  Maybe, just maybe, this will force Washington Democrats to not only re-learn what Howard Dean pushed and not to be afraid of running in all 50 states but to also learn how to speak to rural people as a National Party.

Also, now the party can quit being held hostage by this asshole - and he is an asshole - remember, this guy recently held a meet and greet on his luxury yacht with well-off supporters while lecturing how poor people are societal leeches. 

Personally, my hopes were for him to run again and win and see the Dems pick up a couple of more Senate seats and then be able to ignore the fucker. 

Now, watch - this fucker will do a Zell Zig-Zag Miller and speak at the next Republican convention.
