Warner won't run

Mark Warner, former Democratic Governor of Virginia, has ruled out a Presidential bid in 2008:

Former Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner (D) announced this morning that he will not seek the presidency in 2008, saying he wants to spend more time with his family.

In a statement released shortly before his 11 a.m. press conference here, Warner said, "This has been a difficult decision, but for me, it's the right decision." He said he made up his mind after celebrating this father's 81st birthday in Connecticut and touring colleges with his oldest daughter.

I think this guy may have been the only possible candidate the Democrats had that could win in the South.

It is a shame. He has good reasons for not running, but it sure is a shame that he isn't.
