Watch the videos, and vote for your favorite. One contest voter will win a Joe Manchin autographed toy laser blaster.
This is how you close out a campaign: shore up the base of mountain people who taped that Stars Wars off the teevee 20 years ago. [Joe Manchin]

The farce it is strong in this one.
You don't need a department of education.
We don't need a department of education…
This isn't the stimulus funding you're looking for.

Excellent reference. West Virginia voters really got into that Luke/Leia Brother/Sister sexual tension thing, too.
If your margin is so close that you have to get the closet case sci fi convention vote out, then you probably shouldn't bother.
Hell with that, I want one of them flying, blowing-up-stuff thingies.
The second coming of Ronald Raygun.
What a punk. Hanging a scope on a 10/22 and jack-lighting satellites. I have lost all respect for Joe.
The Galactic Senate just isn't the same with the new filibuster rules.
The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.
I for one welcome our prematurely-aged, dark-sided Sith overlord.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.
So this is how democracy dies…to thunderous applause.
Needs moar "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you underestimate their chances," also.
/watched SW in the theater 27 times.
If he gets elected to the Galactic Senate soon enough he can sit in on the appeal of Orly Taitz.
Screw that. If Sarah Palin can autograph a puppy without even currently being in a political race, Manchin could step the fuck up and autograph a goddamn Jawa.
NO BLASTERS! NO BLASTERS!
I want a laser pistol. Funny commercial, though I'm surprised this video hasn't gotten more traction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7U4f5muwm0
Only in WV could someone make an ad where they shoot a bill with a gun, and get criticized for it *because they aimed the gun wrong*!
I thought Manchin was puttin' tha' hurt to Cap and Trade, not destroying the fine solar-powered product of Sienar Fleet Systems…
Two birds with one stone (or turbo-laser blast), as it were.
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to… the Republican Party.
Almost Endor, West Virginia…
INTENSIFY FORWARD FIREPOWER!
too late…
(insert Wilhelm Scream).
Am I right in inferring that he suggests shooting the other guy? Those Afghan elections sure are corrupt.
November 3rd is WeeVee Life Day…
Imagine if Star Wars was made 35 years hence; Carrie Fisher would have been a tweeker meth-head.
Harrison Ford is desperately trying to save our own Naboo-like blue marble from the depredations of our planet's version of the Trade Federation (aka, the status quo):

If only they could have put Robert Byrd in a suit like Darth Vaders and he could have lived another 110 years.
to be fair, john raese does look a little like jabba the hut.
also: can anyone in politics use a cultural reference that isn't over a decade old?
demon sheep excepted of course.
You know people made Star Wars mashup videos of Obama vs. Hillary and those were OK.
At least this time there's some kind of hook for it–he's talking about Reagan Star Wars at the beginning.
This should sum up my thoughts.
Should have gone with the Romulan metaphor, sucker.
