Former Virginia Governor and possible Democratic presidential candidate Mark Warner recently made an appearance in Second Life, the incredibly hot online virtual reality "game."  You can see a transcript of it here.  Warner really is the political polar opposite of George Allen, aka Macaca Man.

Don’t sleep on Warner as a presidential candidate, if not in ’08 then in ’12.  He’s proven in the past that he’s persistent and effective in the political arena.  After losing the race for Virginia governor in ’98, and being dismissed as a rich political neophyte who tried to buy himself a seat in the Governor’s mansion (he’s a self-made millionaire and spent a lot of his own money to finance his campaign) he patiently built up his base, especially in rural areas outside of Northern Virginia, and came back four years later to win in ’02.  He left office with higher approval ratings than he had at the beginning of his tenure, this despite raising taxes.  He also left the state in a healthier fiscal state than he found it.  Yep, all in all I’d say he’s the real deal.
