I met Manchin back in 2007 or so, back when I was an active Democrat (of the anti-Bush, anti-war kind). It was at the Wisconsin State convention, and Manchin was governor or lieutenant governor of West Virginia, at the time, iirc. Imagine that--a Democrat with executive experience who did something crucial, 13 years later!
Manchin is a true politician in the best sense of the word. Edit: at the time, Manchin bored me, because he was no showy activist, like the new Vermont Senator, Sanders, whom I also saw speak numerous times in those days. NOW, Sanders bores me and Manchin is my quiet hero, even though I'm no longer a Democrat.
Not all political heroes are burning up Twitter, lol.
