I disagree. Manchin is the current Democrat in a R state. Back then there were three or four of them. Blanche Lincoln of Kansas and Ben Nelson of Nebraska were the most endangered. Then there was Lieberman who couldn't be counted on and Arlen Specter who zigzagged. Kennedy and Byrd were on their last legs and could die at any moment. And did so. And Jon Tester of Montana, who was certainly popular in MT but he can only go so far with his constituents. And he knows their limits, which is why he maintains his popularity.

Looking only at the raw numbers doesn't tell the whole story.
