as long as this race was about barack obama, republican john raese was running even. maybe a point or two ahead. but over the past few weeks, manchin changed the subject. he reestablished his independence. they liked him. he won. >> ifill: west virginia has not had a republican senator in 50 years even though it's a pretty conservative state. >> it's not just that it no longer became about barack obama and joe manchin declared his independence. stu is right on that but it's that the race became about john raese in a large degree. the democrats were very successful at pointing out he has a home in florida. his wife votes in florida. it made him seem something other and the whole debacle with the ad referring to west virginiaians as hickey blue- collar types and they were trying to cast the actors for that. that did not play very well for john raese in west virginia. >> ifill: another race that the republicans the white house, the obama white house is watching very carefully is the president's home state of illinois. his old seat in this case we still don't know the out

john raese bond with a mock catalog of your faults, imperfection, deficits are whatever you please to call them. she was, he observed, negligent and playing cards, could not sing a note, hung her head like a bull rush, sat with her legs crossed, pigeon toed, and to cap it all she read too much. at a gale responded that many of these defects were probably in curable, especially the reading so he would have to learn to live with that. the leg crossing charge structure as awkward, since, as she put it, a gentleman has no business to concern himself with the legs of a lady. the letters exchanged during their courtship provide the fullest and first fullest window into the chemistry of their relationship, but would probably be wrong to presume that the correspondent accurately reflected whether they talk to each other when they were together. letterwriting in 18th century was a more deliberative and self-consciously artful exercise than those of us in the present with our cell phones, e-mail, and text messaging can't fully fathom. it's a psychologically different world. the letters of cours

christine, for example, lost, john raese lost.but including demint at this point, there'll be six senators in the senate that will be part of that pocket that he gave substantial resources to. and is that gives him a tremendous amount of bargaining power and leverage when it comes to the senate. if ken buck ends up winning in colorado, that would be a seventh. so we're approaching a tenth of the senate being at least in some way either with their bank accounts and what not aligned with jim demint. demint, of course, has said he's not going to run for president, but this gives him all sorts of bargaining power in the senate. >> and yet of the six seats that republicans have picked up, four of them are decidedly not friends of jim demint. >> that's right. >> incoming senators-elect rob portman in ohio, mark kirk in the illinois, dan coates in if indiana and john hoeven in north dakota. demint didn't play in ohio or north dakota, he thought about getting involved in the illinois race. correct me if i'm wrong, did he actually get invo
