1. he's not good enough. Only a true progressive like Kucinich can win in Virginia

[SaveElmer]

4. Well we tried to get Kucinich to move here and run...

Figure he would win 100% to 0%...but just couldn't convince him!!!

:rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

6. Compared to macacahead, he IS a true progressive...n/t

[rateyes]

8. Are you kidding? Or, are you serious?

I mean, I'm a Kucinich guy myself. But, having lived most of my adult life in Virginia, I'm convnced that there's no way someone like Kucinich could win that seat. No way.

Webb won that race against Allen because of the word "Macaca," and because he is closer to the center than to the left.

11. No, i'm fairly sure he's kidding.

Unless wyldwolf has had a sudden change of heart, he's one of more moderate members of DU, a clinton person, as you can see from the avatar.

The humor is much appreciated though, wyld.

14. I think it was in response to some troll who was here..

about a week ago belittling Warner because he wasn't progressive enough....:eyes:

[DFW]

2. In Virginia.........

There isn't even a ghost of a viable alternative in either party.

[William769]

3. He's a good man, I wish him the best in this election.

[Virginia Dare]

5. That's sweet, hopefully Warner's coattails will be long..

and he'll help carry the Dem Presidential candidate to victory too! He'll make a great Senator IMO.

Not much love for any of the repukes in this state right now...:rofl:

[SaveElmer]

7. Hope we see that in November...

Would love to take at least one house of the general assembly...have a great shot at the Senate

[MiniMe]

9. I'm really hoping that Tom Davis gives up his congressional seat to run

Then he can hit the unemployment line. :evilgrin:

[SaveElmer]

10. And we can get that seat...nt

[MiniMe]

12. I really don't care who gets it, I just can't stand Tom Davis

with his head up *'s butt.

[Virginia Dare]

13. Hopefully Andy Hirst will run again...n/t

[onenote]

17. it will be either andy or gerry connally (county supervisor), imo

Connally might have a slight edge in getting the nomination because he's got a more formal political organization, but I'd like to see Andy Hurst get it.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. Warner is well liked in VA

And I don't mean just Northern VA, which is much more progressive than the rest of the state. I'm glad he decided to run.

[JNelson6563]

16. Excellent!

I really believe we can win a much stronger majority in the Senate come 08. This race will be a nice contribution to that effort.
