Warner Out, Warner In


As one may know, I normally write a blog once a week. However, I felt compelled to make a very serious and full-hearted endorsement of a very special potential Senatorial candidate.

Most of you probably heard that longtime Virginia Senator, John Warner, recently anounced that he will retire from the upper body after twenty-plus years of public service. Many Democrats including Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, believe that the best candidate to succeed Warner is, Warner...Mark Warner.

Serving as governor of the state from 2002 to 2006, Mark Warner has been an standard-bearer for moderates and bipartisan-thinkers alike. Upon leaving office, Governor Warner recieved an unprecedented approval rating of 72%. Until October of 2006, Warner was considered a possible candidate for the White House in 2008; he ruled out that venture, citing that he wanted to "return to life."

Americans want a candidate who crosses the Red-Blue, Liberal-Conservative divide. Historically, U.S. Senators make lousy candidates for President. However, I believe that "Senator" Warner sounds good for a possible candidate; that is, Mark, not John.
