I really like Kerry but the republicans had this whole "I can't understand him" thing going on. With Warner he's not like that. He's still intellictual but it's to where he can connect with you. Like how Clinton was. He does have the charsima thing going on but not like Clinton. I don't think anybody will beat him. I think Warner has a lot to offer people. He works well with the other team, he cleaned up Virginia and the people of the state obviously liked his work to elect his successor Tim Kaine and keep Virginia blue at that level. And as other people have mentioned he can appeal to NASCAR type people and all that. It sucks how the republicans treated Kerry and Gore but I think with Warner they will have a tougher time. Just something about him that's different (in a good way). I also read not too long ago (either late last month or earlier this month) that Bill secretly met with Warner during Thanksgiving. So maybe that means Hillary won't run in 2008. I don't think she is quite frankly. Call it a "gut" feeling. Usually if I have a very strong feeling about something like that it turns out right. Of course I'm human too so I could be wrong. It would be funny if all the republicans spent all their time, energy and money on slaming Hillary and couldn't get our real nominee. Heh heh. I would love a Warner/Feingold ticket. Feingold would be labeled "liberal" (which I believe he is, or at least progressive anyways) and that's still seen as bad to a lot of the country (which sucks cause we're not) and Warner can appeal to all over the country I think. I'm still really thinking about who to support in 2008. Of course I have a long ways to go. :) Right now though it's Kerry, Feingold and Warner (not in any specific order). But Warner is growing on me. He is DLC but I look at a canidate's personal record and actions before I label him/her a dino. Some people just are by their votes and/or what they do but some people are just conservative or moderate democrats who are apart of the DLC because of that. I don't have major beef with the DLC, I just feel a bit iffy about the organization as a whole, but I'm not going to not support a canidate because he/she is apart of the DLC. Kerry is and he's pretty progressive. We need a change in this country and I think Warner can bring that. And he works well with others and we need that again in DC instead of left vs right and fighting all the time. That gets draining.
