Brought to you from the home office in the outskirts of Clemtown, West Virginia...

The Top 10 Things I Miss Most About Sen. Carte Goodwin
10. He showed up for work each and every day.
9. Not once did he embarrass the state.
8. He reliably represented hard-working and out-of-work West Virginians.
7. He didn't make a fetish out of "bipartisanship."
6. As the youngest in the Senate, he knew how to party -- and more importantly when not to.
5. He didn't join any phony centrist organizations that intend to gut Social Security and Medicare.
4. You could count on him to earn his paycheck.
3. He never provided Republicans with a great line to use against him in the next election.
2. You knew where he stood on every bill--he never missed a vote.

And, the #1 thing I miss most about Sen. Carte Goodwin
1. "He's Not Your Average Joe"

Carte, we hardly knew ye. (0.00 / 0)


Carte Goodwin (0.00 / 0)
was an expectant father at the time of his appointment, as I recall. Somehow he managed to balance that responsibility with showing up for work.*

*Not an endorsement for Goodwin as Senator in 2012.


Good call! (0.00 / 0)
I hope we see more of Goodwin in the future.
