Maybe, Warner should run against Allen...

[Frodo]

there are certain groups of politicians that can cater well only on the state or national levels -Mark Warner is such a politician who will only do well on a statewide setting.  he would be a fool to pass up this opportunity to take on George Allen -unless, of course, he is gunning for John Warner's seat once he retires in 2008.  the polls show that that is within reach of a governor as popular as he is.   

consider the fact that he will never win the Democratic Party nomination given his overly centrist views which will not play well with the Democratic Party base.  i'll be honest -i am quite happy with him as governor here within the confines of the Old Dominion, and i want him to continue serving this state as he has done so well since he was first elected in 2001.   if it were possible for him to run for a second term, i would vote for him in a heart-beat (and if i hadn't changed my voter registration in 2001, i would have voted for him then).

but if he were to run for the Democratic Party nomination for president, i will work to ensure he never gets even close to winning.  i want him to stay here in Virginia, and should he feel the need to run a national office, the Senate is the highest office he should ever run for.  he is only popular within Virginia, and he should realize that before embarassing himself in the primaries.

He'd be a good Presidential or VP candidate.

...which he'll never get, as i explained earlier.  which is why i am advocating he run for the Senate instead.

that site is a joke.  Hillary Clinton, obviously, has the greatest chance of winning the nomination, but i don't think Mark Warner even fits there.  you look at the base of the Democratic Party, and look at the candidates, and you tell me which is more likely to win its nomination. 

and notice how, on the GOP side, it gives Rudy Giuliani a decent chance of winning.  ridiculous.   don't take everything you find on the internet seriously.  if i were a Republican, i would be pressing very hard on Jeb Bush to run for president -all the others are mediocre, without charisma, or overly divisive.  Jeb Bush is their best bet for keeping the presidency in Republican hands -provided voters are not suffering from Bush fatigue by 2008.
