So who are we going to run in '08 for Senate?

[Progressive420]

I think Creigh Deeds would be a good choice personally anyone else got any suggestions?

[AlecBGreen]

1. He'd be a good Senator

but its Mark Warner's if he wants it. He'd win the primary in a walk and probably beat anyone the GOP ran. Is two years enough "time with the family" ? :shrug:

2. of course

I forgot to mention ... all this is dependent upon John Warner retiring. Im guessing he will but its not a given.

3. Yea I was basically presuming that he would

but I dont guess its a given I just consider his recent breaking with the GOP as an indication of possible retirement and as for Mark Warner I really dont think he would want to be Jr. Senator from VA I think he will either find his way to a Vice Presidential nomination or he will run for Governor again in 2009.

7. I'll bet he is....

and macaca will win the republican nomination. He shouldn't be hard to beat.

4. It Will Be Interesting

It seems to me the Virginia Democratic party is very weak. I am hoping Mark Warner or Tim Kaine will start promoting some folks locally (we have the VA congressional election next year) which will lead to strong candidates.

Personally, I would like to see Leslie Byrne run for Senate.

5. Against Warner?

No one as usual.

6. There are rumors that Warner is going to retire

in '08 making it a wide open race for senate if he doesnt run.

8. Gilmore

Yep
I actuallly heard Jim Gilmore's name this morning on the local news talking about maybe another run for Governor or maybe even Senate.

:rofl:

[Progressive420]

9. Gilmore is probably the only Republican

that is worse than Allen in VA.

[Virginian]

10. I think Mark Warner would be our strongest candidate.

He said he isn't running for POTUS, but he also said he has more races ahead of him.

Maybe we can put Deeds in Tim Kaine's seat in '09.
