Mark Warner, current governor of Virginia and no other elected office, is thinking of running for president.  he bought the governorship.  He is a rich Business man from NVA.  And his tenure?  Average, or slightly below.  He did force a tax hike on the commonwealth even tho it was not needed.  And since Va. Governors cannot run for a second consecutive term, he is out of a job in 7 months.

So now he is talking about running for president.  Well, there are a lot worse choices like all the front runners out there in the democrat party so far.  But he is just too - no, strike that.  i was going to say inexperience.  he may not be, altho right now he presents himself as a moderate (and has governed close to that).

now comes the irony!  One of the rising stars in the Republican party is George Allen (son of for you redskin fans).  He is a former governer and current senator and a very popular Virginia Politician.  Given the current Republican field (and lots can change in 3 years), Allen looks very strong.

So, what would happen if it was Allen Vs Warner!  The home state advantage would be gone!  And actually, even tho I hated his stupid tax increase, Warner is not a bad guy (not too bright either tho).

NJ, Prepare for number 44!  pen at the ready! Virginian #10 may be in the making!

(For those of you who have not read NJ's series on the presidents, DO IT).
