Warner probably thinks he won in VA by separating himself from mainstream Dems. And who knows, maybe he did.

But if he wants to be our presidential nominee, he needs to realize he would be representing the entire Democratic party. And that as president, he would be next to worthless without a Democratic Congress. You don't do either by bad-mouthing other Dems, or Dems in general.

Besides, a large part of how people vote is how they perceive the party label, irrespective of the individual running.

Ya know, I grew up in the South longer ago than I care to admit. And I remember there were black folk who tried to bend over backwards to prove to white folk that they were different, and better, than all the other black folk. Now, I'm old enough not to really blame them--they were trying to survive. But is it just me, or does this attitude by Warner seem like sorta the same thing?
