Mark Warner: Our Best Hope, By Far
The purpose of this site is to advance the presidential candidacy of Mark Warner, with a focus on the 2008 Iowa caucuses.

I write as a concerned Democrat in southeast Iowa -- concerned because I hate how Republican administrations affect the world and because I'm afraid we Democrats will in 2008 nominate another candidate who will have a very hard time connecting with enough swing voters to win the general election.  Of all the Democrats considering a run in 2008, Mark Warner seems to me far and away the candidate most likely to win the general election and actually become president.

Among other things, I hope to use this site as an early organizing tool for Warner-supporting Democrats in Iowa.  I also hope to make the case for Warner's candidacy. I look forward to this journey, and to victory -- not primarily victory over the other Democratic candidates in the Iowa caucuses (which is just a means to the end) but victory over the Republicans in November 2008 and eight years of a progressive Democratic presidential administration governing the world's only superpower.

Admission #1: I am a progressive living in Illinois who until 5 years ago had always lived in a red state, and I like Mark Warner.

If Mark Warner can avoid stupidity of the Daily Kos/DLC feud, I believe he can appeal to a broad range of Democrats and unite our party.  Equally I believe he has proven with his common sense non-ideological leadership in Virginia that he can unite a large coalition of the American people to not just win a general election, but heal the country.  Am I giving him to much credit for a one-term relatively unknown governor or setting the expectations too high?  Maybe, but the potential is there.

And that is what I plan to watch and post about, the nascent Warner campaign for President, as it searches for message, appeal and a chance to be part of the 2008 public debate.  I am expecting it to be a fun ride.

This somewhat offbeat site promoted "Mark Warner is Good!" tee-shirts to advance its "over-arching goal… to make progressive politics fashionable."  "Our country needs to head a new direction, and Mark Warner can take us there," the authors wrote.  (more)
