“Should Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) worry about his seat come November?”
In Virginia? No.
Sad but true. VA thanks to demographics is forever blue like Colorado.
"Must answer"? Will his opponent raise $10 million+ to make him answer those questions?
Yep. Efforts would be better directed toward taking back some of those congressional seats lost in 2018 and watering down Pelosi’s dominance in the House.
The anomaly of 2014 notwithstanding, Warner is revered nearly on the same level as God here in Virginia.
Skid Mark is one ugly dude.
Yep.. that he is.
“Skid Mark.” I like it!
The flaw I see is that he thinks democrats and greens want the government off their back. They’re the ones pushing for more government.
Ready to be proven wrong and see Warner thrown out of office?
Gonna make it happen, just you watch.
Your lips to God’s ears
I hope so I’ll be with you in spirit I can’t vote in Virginia but good luck.
“Gade” was it?
He has been completely absent from the local media.
Gilmore came close to beating Warner because he is a business oriented, establishment Republican, the only kind that has a chance of winning state-wide in Virginia.
When they nominated people like Cucinnelli that are meant to appear to religious whackos they lose.
That’s how Virginia has always rolled and will continue to
In every election there are a lot of folks that don’t turn out to vote. I think Trump will get a lot of them to get to the polls in Nov. That is on top of a lot of conservatives that are really pissed off at what the dems have been trying to do in this state. Many of those will make up the dems for Trump and Gade.
Capitalism doesn't work as well these days because Senators like him get paid off to tip the scales in favor of big business and to heavily regulate what used to be a free market place.
What is the old saying? "Don't pi$$ on me and tell me it's raining."
I’ve lived in VA for 25 years and know this state well. The filth in NoVa will carry Warner, just as they do all other statewide dems. I appreciate your optimism, but this isn’t a red state anymore.
“Gilmore came close to beating Warner because he is a business oriented, establishment Republican, the only kind that has a chance of winning state-wide in Virginia.”
You may be thinking of the Gillespie challenge to Warner in 2014. Gilmore lost by 20% to Warner during the Year of the Anointed in 2008.
There’s kind of a disconnect between “getting government off our backs” and “ending insider trading.” Most insider trading is simply market efficiency. Milton Friedman would flip in his grave.
And then there’s being in a position of influence to manipulate the market.
That’s true enough. I wish they could do something about commoditizing extremely risky assets and then selling them in secondary markets, like CMOs, CDSs, etc.
I just can’t think of a way government could reign it in without making it worse.
