Jews Love: Mark Warner

Ok, so maybe just this Jew. But the news that Mark Warner won't run for prez in '08 was a huge blow. He is a great guy, a democrat, moderate, and did amazing things to turn Virginia around after Gilchrist, the previous (Republican) governor, screwed up the economy pretty badly.

The article suggests that he might be positioning himself for another run at governor (in Virginia you cannot be governor for two consecutive terms, but you can serve again after a hiatus of four years) or even the senate position currently occupied by John Warner (who I think was at one point married to Elizabeth Taylor). That would be nice, but I really think that we need him in the White House more than we need him in Richmond. Hey, it's only 90 miles difference, maybe we could fool him into thinking that he was campaigning for Governor...

Maybe Wesley Clark will run again, I was a big fan of his last time.
