Ramesh, you have to admit it’s more than a little weird that the Great Mentioner is so obsessed with Democrat Mark Warner on the one hand and Republican George Allen on the other. Something tells me a great deal of the interest in these guys has a lot to do with the fact that a lot of inside-the-Beltwayites know them because a lot of inside-the-Beltwayites live in Virginia and have voted for or against both men. George Allen is no more interesting than a bunch of other Republican senators and Warner is no more compelling than a few other moderate Democratic governors. The Allen-Warner talk might just be D.C. provincialism at its most provincial.
