4. Yah - I think we all knew he'd say no, but it was sure nice of him to wait until it was safe.

5. He came out with some strong statements in defense of the deal early on.

He flipped, probably because he was given a green light.

8. I guess they haven't had enough of their mountain tops chopped off with enough toxic sludge

Manchin opposing President Obama? Wasn't it enough when he shot a copy of ObamaCare?

This vote is irrelevant. It was reported last week that whether or not he supported the deal, he would vote for cloture (or oppose a filibuster). So the hope of passing a deal without a filibuster was always remote.
