1. Great!

a couple more and we could get the Senate back for sure.

[quaoar]

2. But Warner won't run for Senate

He's planning to run for president.

4. if Warner really plans to run in 2008, this is his chance!

By beating Allen in this Senate race Mark Warner can kill two birds with one stone.

8. His plans are not set

He has not decided whether to run for President or the Senate yet. While he is very popular here in the Old Dominion, he is virtually unknown outside of the state and hasn't been the target of a huge smear campaign yet. I have my fingers crossed, but it's too early to tell if he can kill the hydra.

3. This is great

and it shows that he has a chance of carrying his state in a general election.

Hey, if we run a moderate in '08, we may as well atleast TRY to win. So I'll take Warner over Hillary.

Ronald Reagan's election changed the dynamic of the Cold War from one of containment and co-existence to the advancement of freedom. As a result, hundreds of millions of people in Central Europe, once behind the Iron Curtain, now taste the sweet nectar of liberty, have joined NATO, and are true friends and allies.

But President Reagan believed the blessings of liberty must not be bestowed only on a few nations and only to those blessed to be born on free soil; Ronald Reagan, with the strength of his convictions, exported and advanced democracy to continents, countries, and people yearning to taste the sweet nectar of libert.

George Allen needs to go ASAP. I just hope that Warner will run for Senate - he certainly hasn't committed himself yet.
