When it comes to funding, Manchin isn't competing against Morrisey

He's competing against more progressive Democrats -- which is to say, almost all of them -- in other races.

If I had unlimited resources, I would probably hold my nose and max out to Manchin. But I don't have unlimited resources, and neither does MoveOn. Let's take your assumption that Manchin votes with us 60% of the time. I'd rather help elect a 100% or even 90% Democrat than a 60%er.
