Mark Warner for President

[jsanders]

Under Mark Warner’s leadership Virginia became one of the countries best run states. Cooperation between Republicans and Democrats is at its highest in Virginia.

State wide more Republicans voted for Cain (the former Democratic Lt Governor) then ever before.

Mark Warner had an 80% approval rate as Governor.

Mark Warner is the man for the job. Democrats and moderate Republicans should look to Warner as the man that can get the country moving in the right direction.

I’m officially joining the Warner for President Campaign here and now. For the first time in my life, I’m actually going to help with the campaign of a candidate for President of the United States.

Good for you! Maybe I'll encourage Mayor Daley to run

When is he starting to improve literacy?

When is he starting to improve literacy?

You absolutely have no idea what you’re talking about.

Once again American schools have a huge disparity from the worst to the middle and best. Our suburban schools are still producing highly educated students.

Northern Virginia public schools are among the best in the nation.

I’m sorry Kraj but Daley’s not in the league of Warner. Do some research and I think you’ll agree.

He is the best change that the Democrats have for getting elected to the office.

You are probably aware of Virginia’s rise in prominence in the last 10 years. Most of it has to do with Northern Virginia becoming the wealthiest region in the country but a lot of it has to do with the great efforts of the State Government to work things out. This is a traditionally Republican state that is in full support of its Democratic Governors.

This is a model that can be duplicated around the country, and at the national level as well.

First things first Stu, I mean do we really need to know where the Middle East is on the map in order to know we shouldn't be there?

hehehehe,

Sorry about that, math and science were always my strongest subjects. I can surely butcher any well constructed sentence.

Plus I’m from Texas, we don’t speak regular English there.

Thanks I went back and edited it.

Hmmmm...well I don't know anything about Warner, but Daley was voted best mayor in the country and is one hell of a politician. It'd take an awful lot to convince me someone is out of his league.

Don't you mean "well-constructed"?

Maybe that was an exaggeration.

They should teem up, and kick some Republican butts.

Probably, but who cares?

I’m from Texas. Remember?

Pssst, country's is possessive; countries is plural.

That was a typo. But thanks anyway.

 

[jsanders]

Are you guys going to make this entire thread about my minor punctuation errors?

Please don’t stop there, you should work on my spelling next. And when that becomes boring, feel free to engage me about my typing.

 

[Kraj]

Maybe that was an exaggeration.

You're forgiven

They should teem up, and kick some Republican butts.

Works for me.

Being from Chicago, I could say the worst thing that could happen would be Daley running for Prez. He may have been voted best in the country, but how many of those voters were dead years ago? How many 400 million dollar shiny beans do we need in this country? And pray that his wife doesn’t find anything offensive or disturbing about something you love, less it is bulldozed illegally overnight so as not to have to get the proper authorization.

I have found it hard to find a candidate that I don’t find truly offensive. For the most part they are bought and paid for before entering the game. I will read more on Warner, and see if he could be the one (but won’t hold my breath). I find the Dem agenda a bitter pill to swallow, but then again the Rep party is no better.

Here is an idea, vote for a friend or someone you know. Heck, run for office yourself. I would love to be a write in candidate for office, just to see what kind of shake up a common man can cause.

My bad, he wasn't voted No. 1, he was in the top 5 and it was Time magazine in April of this year. I'd imaging everyone involved in the ranking is still alive

I really don't know anything about his wife's influence on his actions, but he's made no secrets about his reasons for closing Miggs. Granted, it was a gross misuse of power, but if that's the worst he ever does than that'd be a hell of an improvement over Bush.

As far as Millenium Park goes... the entire park cost $400 million, not one sculpture. About $100 million came out of the fund for city improvements in the loop, about $100 million came from bonds issued, and $200 million came from private donors/sponsors. The bonds issued and maintenance of the park are mostly funded by the parking garage. The park directly costs the taxpayers very, very little.

And what do the taxpayers get from the park? For starters, it's a beautiful park that can be enjoyed for free and hosts free concerts and events. It brings money into the city as a tourist attraction, restaurant, private concert venue, and movie location (there has already been one movie filmed in Chicago that utilized the park).

And what was it before? A golf course.

I love Millenium Park and I think it was a fantastic idea and is ultimately a great thing for the city.

Is there a specific part of jeremie's post that spurred this comment, or all of it?
