Virginia Republicans are buzzing over speculation that retired Marine Gen. Peter Pace may be lured into running for the U.S. Senate being vacated by John W. Warner (R). On Sunday, Pace retired as chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. He plans to settle in the Fort Myer area. The conservative publication National Review ran an editorial Monday urging Pace to enter Virignia Senate race.

Guys this may be the Answer the flailing (and "fish-out-of water) Virginia GOP needs-they need fresh blood. They do not need more Washington insiders, He may be able to counter the inept Senator Webb, and he is definately a Conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan and Ollie North..

Ping- Can I add you guys to a General Pace *Ping list. I won’t put you on, unless you request it~

The same Jeremy that made a comment at the bottom of the Article! (I went to Liberty University; Jerry Falwell’s Christian College in Lynchburg ;))!

Other than the fact that he doesn’t seem to care for homosexuals does anyone have any idea what his position on the issues are? Doesn’t anyone think that’s important?

[ConorMacNessa]

He is a great American Marine and patriot and I hope he runs.

*no message see my last message: Can I add you to a Gen. Pace ~*Ping*~ list?

[JSDude1]

I’ll check on that for you this weekend! Thanks!!

I’d be surprised if Pace went through with it.

[ryan71]

No way he could put up with the petty, childish, dispicable games.

[Grunthor]

I’m going to be taking some online courses from there next year.

[JSDude1]

He’d sure have a base of support (Conservatives)-who have been shafted by the Party lately in D.C. and in Virginia (Richmond):..

[Grunthor]

yep

[JSDude1]

Awesome.

[Just A Nobody]

Interesting...... ;*)

[clintonh8r]

He’s too good a man to be a politician.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I know very little about him from a political standpoint. As loathe as I am to agree with non-seq, what ARE his positions on the issues ? Has he a platform ? Anything we know with respect to that would have to be presumption on our parts, and I don’t wish to speculate before he or his authorized surrogates have addressed it.

[SevenMinusOne]

I hope he sees the need and value in serving currently in the Senate. In order to keep the ilk of the Democrat party in check.

He is likely one of the GOPs only shots at keeping this seat.

You kidding? The Senate would be child's play after the pentagon.

Fred Thompson/Peter Pace 2008 with John Bolton as Secretary of State, Attorney General Rudy Giuliani, Secretary of Defense Duncan Hunter, Treasury Secretary Mitt Romney, Agriculture Secretary Sam Brownback, HUD Secretary Michael Steele, Homeland Security Secretary Joe Arpaio, Gulf States/Katrina Czar J.C. Watts, etc..

"...does anyone have any idea what his position on the issues are?"

What "issues" are you wondering about? Knowing him to be a man of impeccable honor and integrity, I think I could probably guess at how he stands on most "issues."

“Homeland Security Secretary Joe Arpaio”

Absolutely! Amen!
