Joe Manchin and West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant appear to agree on one thing: the law is convoluted, and the legislature can change it, perhaps in a special session. <a href="http://michaeltheis.wordpress.com/2010/07/07/tennant-manchin-statements-punt-to-legislature/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=michaeltheis.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9489132&amp;post=418&amp;subd=michaeltheis&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
