No need to bother asking me about being Barack Obama’s Vice President, Mark Warner told about 2,000 delegates at the state convention. If offered the VP spot on Obama’s ticket, Warner will say no.
On Sunday, The Washington Post reported on Warner’s speech at the Democratic state convention, quoting him as saying, "Let me be clear about this: I have been working very hard these last few months to ask the people of Virginia to give me the honor of being their United States senator. I will not seek, and I will not accept, any other opportunity."
That’s been Warner’s standard answer to questions about his VP potential, though his speech on Saturday spelled out his intentions in starkly clear language.
There was an eyebrow-raising moment a little further into the story, however. Here’s the juicy part:
So does this mean that Grisham, Democratic bigwig that he is, isn’t going to vote for Obama? Not donating to the campaign is one (self-defeating) thing. But to sit at home or—gasp—vote for John McCain is quite another.
If it’s the national media’s misogyny that’s making these folks sit on their hands, perhaps they’d like to take all look at The Maverick’s position on women’s issues.
