Some details are coming together concerning the speaker’s list at the Democratic Convention in Denver: Mark Warner, current Senate candidate and former Virginia Governor will be the Keynote Speaker Tuesday night. Two thoughts: First, I am guessing that Tim Kaine is now out of the running for VP as highlighting Warner, who would have been the better VP choice from Virginia if he hadn’t run for Senate, would seem unnecessary if Kaine were VP.  Could be wrong on this but that is my guess...Read Full Story

I just finished watching Mark Warner's speech. Mark Warner was speaking at the National Democratic Party convention. It's always hard to describe politics without relying on the standard political story. You know, how this is going to effect votes..blah blah blah... Mr. Warner started off by saying, basically, no, no no, this speech is not about the November election. What? What is it about? Warner said it's about the future of America. ....and therefore about Barack Obama..... phew! Mark...Read Full Story
