Okay, they don't get much love on here, but can we post some positive examples?
I'll start. Tim Kaine, Gov-VA. Didn't vote for him, don't like him, but he's been doing okay. I listen to his call in radio show and he talks pretty straight, and has done nothing really bad. He may be a product of the VA governor's term limits but has done some downright conservative things like closing the interstate rest areas and cutting state jobs to meet his requirement to balance the budget. I probably won't trust him a bit on the national stage when he contines his career, but for right now he's okay.
Joe Manchin Gov-WV. Pretty pro business, West Virginia does not seem to be hurting too bad in he current economic mess. Currently pissed at the EPA because they are throwing up a bunch of new and improved road blocks to pretty much any coal project. I won't cry when the coal miners lose their jobs since they all voted the union card last year, but I think the governor realizes the kooks are running the nuthouse in DC.
I haven't paid enough attention to Mark Warner to comment, Jim Webb no matter what is a disrespectful liar in my book, and the up and coming Creigh Deeds I will probably say a lot of bad about. He really is a pompous little donkey.
