According to “Mudflap” Saunders in his liveblog chat on The Shad Plank:

I can give you many, many examples of what [Mark Warner] did for the mountain people, but the one thing that everybody talks about out here is Mark going to the mat for Tech to get in the ACC. I had a front row seat to that battle, and without Mark, Tech would still be in the Big East.   SW Virginians and Hokies all over the state will show our thanks in November.

Heaven forbid!!! The Big East!!! OH, NO!!!  Without the move to the ACC, how many more “Mountain People” would be denied economic opportunities, jobs, good healthcare and better education??????

Seriously, let’s hear about those “many, many examples,” because so far it looks mostly like Marky Mark was all talk and no action (and where he did act, he failed.)
