Edited on Tue Jun-01-04 07:47 PM by cqhayes
Am I the only one that has noticed that Kerry is spending not only a lot of time but also a lot of money in Virgina? Why would he do this? Virgina is a solid red state and it has been for a long time. The only logical reason would be because he thinks he has a shot at the state and the only logical way he could possibly have a shot in hell at that state is if had Virgina Governor Mark Warner on the ticket. .... Just a thought....

Too inexperienced.
And I'm a HUGE Warner fan. It just sucks that VA (in it's infinite idiocy) chose to term limit governors to one term. Warner could have been a leading presidential candidate in '08 or '12.

9. Unlikely. He needs to run against JOHN Warner in '08 |
|
Allen is too popular in VA, but John Warner is on his last legs - he probably won't even be on the ticket in '08. Who are they going to put up? Gilmore?
Besides. It will clear up the whole "name thing". :-)

11. I appreciate the feeling (though he's further right than you think) |
|
But J Warner is not going to be in the Senate much longer either way and M Warner is out ONLY shot at that seat. Let another young Republican in there and we don't have a shot at that seat again for 30-40 years.
Allen can't be beaten in VA short of the old dead girl/live goat story. ESPECIALLY if Kerry wins in November.

13. oh, i know he isn't really moderate |
|
but i just can't stand some of the republican senators we have such as george allen, rick santorum, saxby chambliss, etc. i get sick listening to them. and john warner looks pretty good compared to them.
but i do agree that if/when john warner retires it would be a good time for democrats to seriously run for that seat. and if mark warner is the only one then he should run for it. i sure don't want someone like george allen up there.

12. Even though I'm originally from DC I don't know much about Mark |
|
Warner. Is he a strong campaigner? Aside from a "shot at" VA would he be a good VP candidate otherwise?

14. Warner ran against a very weak repub candidate and won.... |
|
he's not from VA, just a northern virginia transplant, I think from Kansas? I don't think we could sell him as a southerner, because he's not...he's also pretty moderate, which you have to be in Virginia state politics to win, other than a small district.

Warner is no guarantee he would win Virginia, and he helps Kerry not at all on the single issue where Kerry loses to Bush: Foreign Policy and the War.
Won't be Warner. Won't be Edwards. Won't be Gephardt. Won't be Bayh.
