What to do?

Got to admit, it's kinda weird when your team actually wins elections.

Election Day 2005 shaped up to be pretty good for Democrats, as voters in the Red State of Virginia elected Democrat Tim Kaine by a solid margin, while Jon Corzine captured the governorship in New Jersey. And there were other good signs for the party elsewhere, such as in Tucson where Democrats swept Republicans out of control of the city council. The unhappiness with the Bush administration and the current GOP leadership is quite evident, particularly in examining some of the numbers from the Virginia race.

For instance, Kaine ran exceptionally strong in the suburban areas of the state, long perceived as a Republican stronghold. Northern Virginia is beginning to trend solidly to the left and backed Kaine with 60 percent - much higher returns than his popular predecessor Mark Warner received. Northern Virginia also elected several Democrats to the House of Delegates in races that were supposed to be leaning Republican.

Someone, as several media outlets and blogs like Daily Kos and MyDD have noted, who comes out of this whole thing looking quite rosy is Warner. He is an extremely popular governor who has worked terribly hard to rebuild the state Democratic Party, and, judging by Tuesday's results, he appears to have done quite a job. Warner has presidential aspirations, and I think he'd make a fine candidate.

I've been leaning Wesley Clark for the past few months, with Hillary Clinton and Warner fighting for No. 2. But after reading some of the things Warner has done for Virginia, he's moving up rapidly on my list. If I had to say right now, I'd switch my support in 2008 to back a Warner candidacy.
