I thought Warner was VA governor and he just won a few years ago?
Warner was elected in 2001 but he is not permitted to run for a second consecutive term. In Virginia, an incumbent governor can't succeed himself. Insane, I know. Warner would have coasted to re-election

No, he wouldn't have. He could have, but he wouldn't have. If he has Presidential ambitions, and I suspect he does, he would have campaigned actively to get hsi name in as many newspapers as possible. He would want as many headlines as he could grab. Winning huge in VA would do it.
When I say 'coasted' I mean that Warner would have easily won re-election. I did not mean to say that he would win by simply resting on his laurels. Of course, he would have campaigned to obtain the maximum margin of victory possible
Anyway, I'm just glad that Virginia has setttled for competent Democratic governance
with Tim Kaine
