Former Virginia Governor Mark Warner seems to have the perfect political storm building for the 2008 presidential election. Term limited by Virginia law to four years as governor, Warner now has time to build up political support, rally moderates and independents to the party in the 2006 midterm elections, and put together his campaign team for the 2008 presidential election. Considered by many party insiders to be a favorite for the Democratic nomination, Warner’s gubernatorial turn in Republican Virginia would seem to give him the experience to bridge gaps and succeed in a hostile environment. His business savvy in the private sector and his connection to Beltway donors would seem to give him the funding needed to assuage concerns by Democratic leaders about his efficacy as a candidate. At the very least, Warner seems like he has executive grade makeup that would allow him to succeed as president or vice president.

Yes, this article was written when he was still in the race (last summer).

I'd love it if Warner ran, but he already said he's not going to. I highly doubt he'll run.
