Warner's work for rural Virginia

The Forward Together PAC has up a good comparison of President Bush's unkept campaign promises and Governor Mark Warner's proven record of helping rural residents in Virginia. 

They say:


This week's Hilltown Democratic Dispatch remembers President Bush?s promise from April 2004 during a campaign stop in Iowa, to bring broadband access 'to every rural county by 2007'. But, as the Dispatch notes, with a year to go, the goal is far from being met.

In Virginia, the Dispatch notes, 'former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner compiled quite a record on behalf of rural residents during his just-completed four-year term in the Old Dominion. From investing regional venture capital funds in Southside and Southwest Virginia to establishing the Center for Rural Virginia and luring more than 16,000 new jobs to the state?s rural areas.'

With people making comparisons like that, one might think Warner is running for president.  :)

It's a pity that some self-named Blue Dog "democrats" don't acknowledge Warner's excellent stewrdship, especially when it comes to the less advantaged areas of the Commonwealth. All they see is "governor Mollycoddle," a huge budget surplus which in their minds proved the tax hikes "unnecessary," and so on. But most Virginians know better; they see the proof of improvements in their lives with their own eyes, and recognize where it came from--- and it didn't come from the petty-minded Republicans, or, truth be told, from the snippy blue dogs.
