[Kaine for Senate '18]

This thread is devoted to Mark Robert Warner, former Governor, and now Senator, of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Let all Warner supporters come here

His Keynote Address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXNQLvu4UgM

This thread is epic fail. If Warner ever gets the Democratic nomination, I will vote Peace and Freedom.

Fine; he doesn't need the Socialist vote to win, anyway

[Kaine for Senate '18]

His DNC speech, notably awful relative to most keynote a7ddresses, removed him from my fanclub.


Plus his face is all square or something

Really...I thought his speech was the best one.  The only point during the whole DNC I cheered out loud at was when he started talking about Rural Broadband, and said that line along the lines of, "If we can send a job to China, we can send a job to Danville, VA!"  Most of the speakers didn't talk enough policy, especially not good policy like that.

Exactly.  I thought he gave an amazing speech; certainly not deserving of all the criticism its seen on the forum.

Ben I am not saying this to be mean or come across as an enemy. but why did you start this thread?

It had been suggested in another thread, so I decided to follow through.

oh but did you think about the fact that you might just be waisting your time?

When you post on this forum as much as I do, that thought never really pops into your head.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Well thank god I don't then.

Very few people do.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Well thank god I don't then.

BTW why have you never run for office?

He's 12.

I'm 15 and 1/2, actually; and I've run for numerous in-school offices.

I meant in atlaia and btw he is 15. look at his profile.

I have; I've been elected Lt. Governor of the Mideast 3 times, lost once for Governor, twice for Senate, although there've been another 2 Senate races where I didn't officially run, but received write-in votes, and I ran an abortive campaign for President before dropping out and supporting Supersoulty.

why are you guy(s) on here wasting time jacking off to some politician? mark warner isn't going to get you anywhere in life; he's not going to get you money, or girls, or happiness. there is no correlation between mark warner and your well-being. so, what's the point, really?

We're posting on a political forum; why not have a thread about our (and other posters) favorite politician?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Well, given his location and interests, Ben could very well end up working in Warner's Senate office, and I bet he could get hired on as staff if he wanted, eventually.  In which case Warner would be a steady paycheck.

Dream job, that; actually being able to work with Warner; maybe run for his seat when he retires/get a job in the Warner Administration.

Why is Warner more inspiring than the other potential Democratic contenders for 2016?  He's capable, but what makes him special besides the fact that he's local?

He was an extremely capable Governor, and his satte was the best managed in the country during his term.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Ok, so he's an effective administrator.  But why the worship?

I can totally understand the Lieberman love - he stands out from the pack for better or for worse.  I don't see what Mark Warner does to differentiate himself significantly from other effective Democrats.

That's the thing: I feel that his ability did set him apart from other Democrats.  I'm not going to deny that his being a Virginian helps, but you don't see me being such a big fan of Tim Kaine, do you?  Warner is really the most capable Democrat out there, so I support him as such.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Well Warner has more potential than any other Virginian to go far.  I'm not saying you're inherently biased in favor of Warner because he's Virginian, but why not be excited about Bayh?

Bayh has been a great governor of Indiana and a capable moderate senator.  Bayh's still young enough to be president in eight years.

I just don't see what Warner has got.  Maybe he's the best of Democratic stars that doesn't stand out any notable way from the rest.  So, with nothing particularly outstanding about him, he maintains the best resume.  But that's nothing to get all excited about.

Bayh is amazing, and a race between Bayh and Warner would be tough for me.  I think, in the end, I am a little biased for Warner becasue he's from Virginia, and I've been exposed to him more than other people.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

So effectively it's all based around him being a solid, moderate administrator who happens to be from your state?  Haha, that's fair, but that's not really exciting.

I guess it's exciting to have local a politician who matches your own ideology be a potential frontrunner for the next Democratic primary.

One caveat though is that he refused to be vetted for Obama's VP, which is a weird decision for him.   More than a few people suspect he has something to hide.  I'm undecided.

I give him a lot of credit for making us the best managed state in the country during his term.  And yes, perhaps I am more excited over Warner than a lot of people, but since it ain't hurting anybody, I don't care.

I am little concerned over why he refused to be vetted, but I don't think he did anything wrong, so I've put it out of my head.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I like the guy and was disappointed when he decided not to run. I still hope that someday he becomes President, but I can't help but feel that he missed his chance. Fact is, there likely will be some fresher faces in the running, and the question I have is whether or nor Warner will be overshadowed by them.

The same applies to Feingold and Bayh as well. 

That's what I'm worried about, too; he'll be overshadowed by a lesser, but more exciting, candidate.
