He’s not going to be.
In a perfect world, Warner would have no shot. He's a creepy slickee boy. However, look at the state of the RPV. Look at our candidates. Gilmore? Nice guy, like his tax cuts, but didn't exactly leave Richmond on a high note. Davis? Fairfax, Arlington, and Prince William will vote for him, but who else? He'll go over in Southside like a lead balloon. I actually remember when Tom Davis talked like a conservative and not a federal employee union shepherd. I pray that another Republican candidate emerges... and that his campaign includes no veterans of the most recent VA-wide debacles.
