"Warner is very lucky to have escaped with the Governorship." Really? Despite his very high popularity numbers?

Correction: "Mr. Warner successfully helped Tim Kaine, his lieutenant governor, score a decisive six-point victory to succeed him in the governor's mansion. "

Peter Is this shaping up to be a Hilary Clinton and John Kerry on the Dems side? Or, Mark Warner and Hilary? Some of my women friends refer to Hilary as "Commie Hilary"---certainly the socialist label fits. You are right about the conservative soundbites-----when we went into Iraq, she did not oppose 100% as did some Dems, as I recall she left room for going in. Reg. Rice----the peace deal, is such deja vu stuff---they and we have been down that road before under Kissinger. Certainly being not married------Rice doesn't have a spouse to influence her thinking and to be a shadow President. Both Carter and Clinton had wives who wanted to influence policy. The other thought that has been proposed is that someone will run who is not a known entity nationally------i.e such as Clinton did for the Dems. He was Gov. of Arkansas and not known nationally. Unfortunately, because of Clinton being not known----the stories and allegations about the Clintons in Arkansas never reached the majority of the voters. If they had he may not have been elected. Is there really a Reagan Coalition now? There may be a variant on that coalition but not the Reagan Coalition as it existed in the 1980's. jmho Late---another day mj
