Ron Brownstein's on board.
The LA Times' Ron Brownstein is one of the nation's foremost and influential political reporters, and in his where-do-the-Democrats-go-now column of yesterday gives our man a mention:
That imperative seems certain to raise the 2008 profile of Democrats who have won elections in regions the party needs to put back into play — such as governors Tom Vilsack of Iowa (the rural Midwest), Bill Richardson of New Mexico (the desert Southwest) and especially Mark R. Warner of Virginia (the South).(emphasis added)Brownstein's mentioning of Warner was even noted in The Note, ABC News' uber-insider political daily. The mention of Warner by Brownstein and The Note will undoubtedly further raise his profile within what the Note likes to call the "Gang of 500", the political and journalistic elite who shape political news coverage.

Mark has been named public official of the year by governing magazine! here's the link:
http://www.governing.com/poy/2004/warner.htm
There was a poll recently on dailykos where Mark Warner placed third among 12 potential democratic candidates for 2008.
You can see it here.
I voted for him and this is what I wrote:
- A Southern governor.
- Warner got the urban, suburban and rural vote.
- He also got most of the African American and Latino vote. Fluent in Spanish.
- Strong family and religious values.
- Fiscal conservative, VA is again doing reasonably well. He got republicans and democrats in Richmond to agree on balancing the budget and they passed quite a bit of his agenda.
- Strong on education and health care issues
- Mark's story is similar to Edwards'. Humble origins, first one in his family to go to college, self-made businessman.
- His weaknesses in foreign policy could be mitigated by including in the ticket someone like Bill Richardson or Wesley Clark
- How do we start a "Warner for President" campaign?
I am glad you got this blog started.
I agree that Warner can be an appealing candidate to Southern and other red state voters. And more importantly, like the Moose implied, he can make a major contribution to the DNC in developing the much needed new crossover "message" or "narrative" that was so badly lacking during the past election.
The main question in my mind is what happens between the end of his tenure as governor and the 2008 presidential campaign. As the last campaign seems to show, not holding a US senate seat and having a voting record can be a real asset in running for the WH.
We do need a candidate who is not afraid to talk about god. The fact that Kerry didn't even win the catholic vote is inexcusable. Kerry may be on the wrong side of the abortion issue, But Bush was on the wrong side of the death penalty and Iraq issues and that didn't hurt him.
As for starting a Warner for President Campaign, we can't. We can start a "Draft Warner for President" campaign. That's how Wesley Clark entered the race, I was a part of it. The guy who was really behind that was John Hlinko. He also ran a site called "Act for Love". Get up with him, he can give you the 411.
