The short answer is he's the Democratic Governor of VA. He's being touted as either a possible Senate candidate in 2006 or as a Presidential candidate in 2008.
Via Poltical Wire I just read this story on him:

However, I still don't really know much about him.
He's been labeled in various places as a "New Democrat" in the Clinton mold, but I find such labels pretty useless these days.
What do people here know about Warner?
His positions on issues? Does he have an overarching philosophy of government? How are his political skills?
What about his personality? Is he a man of good character and integrity? Smart? Charismatic?
VA Kossacks - how has he been as a governor? Would you vote for him for higher office?
I know little about him so I have no opinion of him as yet. Wondering if the denizens of Kos could give me some more info to help me form one. Never too early to start thinking ahead.
