Props from the Bull Moose.

Marshall Wittman is one of the more respected political minds on both sides of the aisle. Wittman was former director of communications for John McCain, and worked in the Bush 41 administration, as well as for the Christian Coalition and the Heritage Foundation. But that was in a previous life. Wittman gradually became disillusioned with the right, and now has become a senior fellow at the Progressive Policy Institute. His (relatively) new blog, The Bull Moose, has become a must read, given his perspective from both sides of the aisle. He made this reference to Warner:

As the Moose has mentioned, Democrats need a major overhaul. They cannot concede the south and expect to lay claim to the White House and Congress any time soon. Organization is fine - ideas and message are far superior. It also wouldn't hurt the donkey to get in touch with rural voters and the exurbs - Virginia Governor Mark Warner can be helpful with that.

Not quite a presidential endorsement, but an astute observation of one of Warner's strongest assets.
