26. It was NickshepDem (NSD) who turned me on to the Governor...
Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 12:47 AM by larissa
And it took me a while before I figured out why NSD was interested in the guy making a possible run.

But a combination of.. 1) reading NSD's posts , 2) hearing Governor Warner on the Big Eddie show!, 3) reading on Tim Kaine's blog that he hopes (and thinks) that Warner will team up with Clark (if Warner is nominated), and finally... 4) reading tons of articles about how Virginia was rated the "Best Managed State in the Nation for 2005" made me stop and listen.

YES.. I admit.. I'm a Clarkie through and through! :patriot: ~~~~~~~~ And of course, I supported Senator Kerry completely when he won the nomination.

But when Warner entered the picture for me last summer (thanks to NSD) --- I started to think.. =huh= Does Lt. Governor Kaine really think these two will team up, or is he just trying to keep his blog interesting?

Over the summer.. General Clark came up here to Anchorage :hug: ..and he also spent a great deal of time in Virginia with Kaine and Warner. :)

So I thought to myself... "self I said".. maybe NickShep is onto someone here.

Then this past week, =whoa= the Governor of Virginia experienced his 15 minutes of fame! ....Only... after reading countless articles recetly... plus one a couple months back in Radar Magazine.. I really did start listening to NSD here... http://www.radaronline.com/fresh-intelligence/2005/07/1...

I want him to make a run.. I'd like to see how he'll do against our other candidates! But if he does win nomination for our party and Kaine was right.. that will be too cool.

And yeah.. I know some here insist that "Clark will never be anyone's Cheney" ... and that could be true... then again.. Kaine has spent an awful lot of time with Warner and Clark. :shrug:

What does Tim Kaine know that I don't know? ...Next time anyone runs in to Clark, please ask him if he's teaming up with the Gov. or or going out on his own again.

If Clark goes out on his own... sorry Mr. Governor.. gotta take a backseat till the nominee phase! If Clark runs, he comes first.

So... we'll wait and see --- but I'd love to see them team up~ Speaking of the Governor - he's a picture of him recent "boogieing with Middle School kids" Said he's promise to dance with them if they raised their grades on the state testing---- and boy did they! :rofl:
