		<description>Vic, 

I wanted to let you know that I appreciate the work that you have done while serving in the House and Senate in the past 14 years. I also must mention how much I appreciate your willingness to take the floor and argue for the people of your district. I have been in the galleries many times and watched you say the things that everyone is thinking and few have the guts to say, and for that I must thank you. 
When I read your post I immediately had a tremendous amount of respect for your decision because you have chosen to "serve the public" as "public service" was intended to be, rather than making a career out of the office.</description>

		<description>Vic - I'm going to miss you.  It was good to have a Republican's Republican out there representing the Republican wing of the Republican party.  I, too, look forward to seeing you at some of the various party events (like Shelly Moore's dinner on Saturday evening).</description>

		<description>Vic,

I support and understand your decision, but I am sad for the Republican Party in WV.  You will be a great political consultant because you know politics and, most importantly, you know how to win - something lacking in the current party leadership.

Wishing you all the best,

		<description>Vic -
Truly sorry to see you leave the Senate, although I, too, believe
in term limits. You have been great.
Thank you for your public service.
Best wishes in the future.</description>

		<description>It's a sad day......*tear*

It has been a pleasure to work with/for you over the past few years. It won't be the same without you here.

I do wish you the best of luck both financially and personally.

Maybe I'll still be around if you decide to come back in 10 or 20 years.</description>

		<description>I am disappointed for the Senate but I cannot argue with your logic at all. If the pay raise had passed the House of Delegates that might have helped you a bit financially but probably not enough to get you to stay in the Senate.
  All of the best of luck to you in the future and thank you for your service to our State.
  I wish all members of your family all the best as well.</description>

		<description>FINALLY.. We can get this pro-business, anti big government, fiscal conserative OUT OF THERE so the voters can elect a "for the working man" Democrat who will show these evil business owners and take all their profits and give it to the rightful owner...  McDowell County

Say it ain't so Vic</description>
