Nothing Says "One of Our Own" Quite Like a Volvo
Wednesday, April 12, 2006
"Don't hire from the outside. You don't know what you're getting." Well, you know Don has a point. Can you imagine what it would be like if we had a Governor from Kansas, or even Connecticut. Ha!
Come on, nothing says "inside" quite like a Volvo dealership...well, that and outsourcing thousands of high tech jobs to India and China. It is hard to stand next to Jim Gilmore and not look like the most competent person in the room, but Don Beyer has done a marvelous job of letting Jim shine.
Here is an abridged list of prominent Virginia Democrats who have roots outside of the Commonwealth. I hope Don is asking us to choose, I know where I stand...
Delegate Amundson
Delegate Bowling
Delegate Brink
Delegate Caputo
Delegate Ebbin
Delegate Eisenberg
Delegate Englin
Delegate Joannou
Delegate Jones
Delegate McEachin
Delegate Melvin
Delegate Miller
Delegate Moran
Delegate Poisson
Delegate Shannon
Delegate Toscano
Delegate Valentine
Delegate Ware
Delegate Watts
Senator Colgan
Senator Howell
Senator Locke
Senator Miller
Senator Puller
Senator Saslaw
Senator Ticer
Senator Whipple
Governor Warner
Governor Kaine
Congressman Scott
Chairman Cranwell
and yes, even candidates Miller and Webb.

I'm gonna guess that all these people were born outside of Virginia.

Why would you hire from the outside when you inherited the dealership from your dad?

Again, let's not all take potshots at one of our best Democrats (and future Senate candidates). We don't have to agree with him, but he has a right to say it.

I disagree, no one has a right to say who is and ins't a democrat. Don Beyer is as much at fault in Virginia for the creation of the Golden Crescent as anyone is.
We are not served by him in Southwest and Southside Virginia. I owe him no allegiance.
He serves what he knows and I do the same
