What's wrong with Warner?

[Yes We Did]

I mean, I'm perfectly happy with the Biden selection, but Warner seems like he would have been a great pick too; plus he could have ran in 8 years.

1. He's currently running for a Senate seat.

I don't think he wanted the job.

2. Maybe they prefer that he win a Senate seat for us now? nt

3. He's another seat in the Senate

I think thats why he decided not to hop in the presidential race

he's the next senator from Virginia.

4. Warner said NO, and as a Virginian, I'm thrilled about that!

I can't WAIT to have two sitting senators as Dems!!! Woohoo!!!

[Yes We Did]

6. Gotcha. Thanks.

5. I think the Obama campaign wanted to vet him

But he declined because he's running for Senate. I would guess Schumer may have had something to do with that too (not wanting to give up an almost certain Senate pickup).

7. He would have been great. But he didn't want the job,

And I really think that he wouldn't have filled the foreign policy experience that Barack needed. JMHO. He will bring another seat in the Senate though. Warner is very popular in Virginia. I don't know if there is another dem, other than Kaine, who could have won. But this gives us 2 dem senators from Virginia plus a dem governor. That does have value in itself.

8. Oh Yawn, you have to be kidding

What do people see in this guy. I don't get it. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[FrenchieCat]

12. Good Senator, and decent speech......but President? I'm not that impressed.

He's fair as keynote on delivery......the speech is interesting though.

[sandnsea]

15. Great governing philosophy

Especially for states like Virginia. Seems to be detail oriented which is good for a Governor and Senator. I guess we can't expect too much exuberance when they're filling in the policy check sheet.

[Barack_America]

9. He's a shoe-in for a Senate seat and he probably WILL run in 8 yrs. nt

[dolo amber]

10. He has a Rebublican face

I'm sorry, but it's true. :shrug:

[Doctor_J]

11. I wish he was talking up Obama/Biden instead of campaigning for Senator

Where's the beef?

[LBJDemocrat]

13. Conservative, plutocrat, boring

What's to like?

[Doctor_J]

14. Cripes. Warner's women are even prettier than Gore's

a nice picture. Go Senator warner!
