What it Means...

As you have heard by now, former Governor Mark Warner of Virginia will not be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 2008.

Since I like to be in the In Crowd, let me offer my prediction as to what he will do.

1. Mark Warner will not be a candidate for public office in 2007. Thought I would start off easy.

2. Mark Warner will not be a candidate for public office in 2008, although he will take Secretary of Commerce if it is offered to him by a Democratic president-elect.

3. Mark Warner will be a candidate for Governor of Virginia in 2009, much to the chagrin of Bill Bolling and Bob McDonnell.

Why?

Because the US Senate is a tomb for presidential aspirations...see my previous post about the Tomb of the Senate. Warner as Governor can be in control of his agenda and not get hamstrung down the road when a procedural Senate vote is spun into a substantive one.

Warner for Governor 2009...get those buttons ready!
