Or so he says. Color me surprised.
The Hillary Train rumbles along….
UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds is disappointed. “I was actually hoping for a Warner/Giuliani race, as something that might defuse the polarization a bit.”

Remember last month, when Mark Warner threw a ton of money at the Kos nutjobs, holding a lavish party to court those people?
Well, someone needs to ask him what he thinks of this.

Joe Biden wants to run for President. That might be difficult if he keeps saying dumb things like this (watch the video).
Hilarious. But imagine the uproar if a Republican said that.
Then again, maybe he plagiarized that line.

The beat goes on:
IMAGINE the outrage, especially from the Left, if President Bush were to hire an Internet guru who had a past as a Web shill for a worthless dot-com stock.
Nope, Bush hasn’t - but “un-Hillary” 2008 Democratic prospect Mark Warner did just that when he hired Jerome Armstrong and has no plans to [...]

Garance Franke-Ruta:
If Warner didn’t know, when he hired Armstrong, that this kind of stuff was in his background — the SEC settlement, the political astrology — it’s a sign his PAC failed to do its own due diligence. There are plenty of successful people in politics with complicated pasts, but they make damn sure to [...]

This Jerome Armstrong stuff gets stranger and stranger. Now it turns out that Mark Warner’s top internet advisor is a long time astrologer. You have to read this; it is side-splittingly hilarious. Here’s Armstrong, on the 2001 Earley-Warner gubernatorial race, three weeks before that Election Day:
We’ll see, if nothing changes over the [...]

From the liberal The American Prospect:
LITTLE FISH EAT BIG FISH. Bloggers were in a tizzy all weekend over a New York Times report by Opinionator Chris Suellentrop on Friday unearthing the fact that Mark Warner PAC Internet strategist Jerome Armstrong was charged with being a stock tout in the late 1990s, hyping a worthless company [...]

It seems that Mark Warner’s netroots flacky, and the featured speaker at last weekend’s blog summit, has a sketchy past that calls into question everything he says. From Redstate.com, commenting on an article from the New York Times:

From Beltway Blogroll:
Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner threw an expensive party for the folks at YearlyKos over the weekend. Micah Sifry of Personal Democracy Forum questioned whether that was a smart move by Warner, a potential presidential candidate in 2008.

“Some people wonder [...]

Lots of articles about George Allen this weekend:

Will the commonwealth of Virginia take center stage in 2008?
It is not impossible that Virginia's Republican U.S. senator, George Allen, could square off against its former Democrat governor, Mark Warner, in the [...]

From a devoted reader:
I was in Washington last week and came across this display. I have no idea what the significance of it is and didn't have time to ask some 'official' looking people who were close by since I literally parked my vehicle in the middle of a busy street to jump out [...]

Over at his blog, Marc Fisher has this interesting post about a recent NY Times profile of former Governor Mark Warner:
Anyway, the piece, engagingly written by Matt Bai, was headlined "The Anti-HIllary?" and the whole thing centered around how Warner is better positioned than any other Democrat to be the one the party turns to [...]
