[madokie]

will join forces with Gore.

1. Must mean he's running for re-election?

[Hepburn]

2. His term does expire and he could run in 2008...

...however, he turned 80 in February and what I have heard is that he is retiring.

[BonnieJW]

7. Macaca wants to run for his seat.

[madokie]

8. you're kidding, right

:shrug:

[Cabcere]

11. Macaca will not get elected.

(...I hope.) I sure as hell wouldn't vote for him, and I think most Virginians have realized what a racist asshole he really is. Hooray for some progress being made, right?

[Gloria]

3. He seems geniuinely interested... as opposed to the pouting Inhofe...

[maddezmom]

6. agree

for a republican he does have some sense of decency

[onenote]

4. warner, for all his faults, understands what it means to be a US Senator

unlike inhofe, who is better suited for a position in a banana republic.

Of course,I'd still never vote for Warner. But when he took on Ollie North, he showed me that he was a man who was capable of recognizing integrity over party.

[Mike Daniels]

9. Warner v. North

To this day, I think John Warner won re-election because Dems crossed over in appreciation for his efforts to keep North out of the Senate. I know that he survived the Republican primary that year strictly as a result of it being open vs. limited to Republicans only.

[Cabcere]

10. Yeah, I agree.

I think John Warner is a basically decent guy - I may not agree with him on a lot of issues, but he seems to have a sense of honor and integrity. He's a hell of a lot better than his former fellow Virginia Senator...I have nothing nice to say about Mr. Macaca, except I'm glad he lost.

5. He is a class act - wish there were more washingtonites like him
