The Dems were burned by nominating a senator  in 2004, well pretty much with the exception of John F. Kennedy, the Dems were always burned when they nominated a Senator -- go check your history books.  By and large the voters really, really prefer governors. And stupidly enough they don't like too many vowels in their president's surname -- go look and see how many prez have had names that ended in a vowel.

So Mark Warner could be The Guy. He's really popular in a "red" state, he's filthy rich having been one of the Nextel founders and to date he's been squeaky clean and scandal free.

 I don't consider the guy a conservative in the Joe Lieberman sense at all, he's more like oh um Governor Howard Dean.  Remember that guy? Pro-Gun, Fiscal conservative but pro-choice and very, very tapped into the high tech community.

 Oh and despite the broken hand, he looked kinda hot in his biker outfit the other week <g>.
