April Poll

[MHS2002]

Republicans

1. Whom do you support for the Republican Nomination in 2008?
2. Which Democrat would you most want to NOT get the Democratic Nomination in 2008?

1. George Allen
2. Mark Warner

[MHS2002]

Both will have a problem with what I suspect is going to be a major issue in 2008: illegal immigration.

Its a good thing Warner is on the right side of this issue.  He recently signed a measure that denies illegal aliens public benefits, including access to Medicaid, welfare and local health care services.

I was going to say, good move by Warner. Carl, what problems do you think Allen would have with immigration issues?

Do you get thee feeling thatt 2008 might put Virginia in play?

Id say Virginia will be out of reach for the Democrats in 2008.  Unless, Warner is the Democratic nominee and the Republicans nominate someone like Romney or Pataki, which is highly unlikely.

It was 53-45 with Kerry as the Democratic candidate. If we nominate anyone better (not real hard), doesn't have to be Warner, just not Hillary or Feingold, and it probably swings two points. If the state is then 51-47, at least the GOP will be forced to spend valuable money there.

Nominating Hillary or Feingold won't swing Virginia two points methinks.

He said "just not Hillary or Feingold."

Oops. missed the "non" part.
