That's my fear. That the Dems will run a quasi-respectable and quasi-conservative Democrat like Evan Bayh, or VA Governor Mark Warner.
Then we have a tougher fight.
I keep hearing Mark Warner mentioned - I live in VA so I know a little about him. Have you seen a picture of him? He looks like a horse. I hate to make such hay (pardon the pun) out of his looks - but it is a factor to consider.
