Warner Attractive to GOP moderates kansascity.com. Posted on Sun, Mar. 26, 2006 WASHINGTON — It is a rare day when a Democratic governor leaves office in a state that voted Republican for president since 1964 with accolades from both sides of the political aisle. Not only was Virginia’s Mark Warner a highly successful governor, but his popularity also resulted in Democratic Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine winning more votes in 2005 than Warner received in 2001. When Warner helped engineer a back-to-back Democratic gubernatorial wins in a state that had not voted for a Democratic president since Lyndon Johnson in 1964, political gurus of all stripes took immediate notice. Mark Warner jumped onto the list of the top five Democratic presidential contenders for 2008. Warner cut into the Republican rural base by balancing the state budget and catering to such conservative agendas as gun rights and the death penalty. That and Warner’s background as a telecommunications tycoon, a NASCAR fan and a frugal spender of government money makes him a natural nationwide contender for the White House. Warner’s victories in solidly Republican rural southern Virginia counties could easily equate to primary and general election victories in nearby states with similar demographics. — Wayne Madsen, Online Journal
