he's the first person I've ever met who actually has a negative view of Warner's term as Governor
Did you ever run into MODU?
Reading MODU's comments on Warner over the past year, it seems that his complaint with Warner was due to an unnecessary tax hike at the end of his term that resulted in a $2 Billion tax surplus that the state could not refund. The state had to allocate those funds towards spending projects which became a financial burden the following year when tax returns were not as high.
He had a good comment on why Warner should not be Obama's pick for VP since Warner could lock the Senate seat for the Democrats.
