As we shared with you earlier, West Virginia governor and senatorial hopeful Joe Manchin seems to be getting a boost from the fact that people don't like his opponent, Republican John Raese. Manchin would like to see this trend continue, so in the fine tradition of some of the more effective ads this campaign cycle, he's using Raese in his own words to show off the businessman's "crazy" ideas: abolishing the minimum wage and the Department of Education, for example.

Once upon a time, it would have seemed crazy that Manchin could lose this race. Now he's shooting up legislation and putting his opponent in a straitjacket.
