Western Democrat: "For a candidate that isn't on many people's top 10 lists as a contender for 2008 (even described as a vice-president at best) Gov. Bill Richardson seems to be making all the right moves. He's establishing himself as a centrist, can-do executive (as opposed to a Senator with a long, liberal voting record), giving policy speeches all over the place, and especially sharing the love."
Howard Fineman: "The entry I'd rather talk about this time around is arguably the most obscure -- (Mark) Warner. Let's put the caveats up front. He is relatively young (50), has zero experience in defense or foreign policy, has no military background or national organization, and strikes some people who know him as unusually hungry and manipulative. Also, he will be out of office at the end of this year (Virginia has one-term-only governors), and who knows what will happen between then and '08 to affect the national landscape. We are in a dangerous and unpredictable world.
