As a result, Virginia is fourth in the nation in terms of financial market confidence and top-level bond ratings, and the envy of other states. Democrats led the way, and arc determined to keep our state on a steady course.

But then, that's what leadership is all about. Planning for a sound future. Making the tough choices. Telling the truth.

So before you vote November 5, ask yourself this:

Who would you rather have running Virginia? A herd of elephants with noses that stretch from Tidewater to the coalfields of Southwest Virginia?

Or donkeys with short, stubby noses...but donkeys we can depend on to cany the load and get the job done.

November 5, vote Democratic. Elea Kay Slaughter to Congress, Tom Michie and Margaret Haynes for State Senate and Jerry Wood to the House of Delegates.
