Manchin: All-broadband W.Va. by 2010

The Associated Press' Tom Breen reports on Gov. Joe Manchin's his goal of extending high-speed Internet access throughout the Mountain State, with the help of Cisco Systems CEO (and W.Va. native) John Chambers.

Manchin says the prospects from this developing public-private partnership helped prompt him to veto legislation in this area following the recent regular session.

Was this Cisco deal bid out or anything? At first blush it seems like Manchin vetoed the bill to protect something he arranged with Cisco.

Who the hell is this guy trying to kid?

Apparently, he is protecting Cisco Systems by his recent veto... only in West Virginia.
