This isn’t so much a “story” as a question for old timers.
Anyone else remember when Mark Warner did a full court public relations campaign at Yearly Kos 2006, in preparation for maybe running for President in 2008? I'm pretty sure I still have the tee shirt. I KNOW I got drunk as shit at the Stratosphere on his dime, along with the other Kossacks and the Young Dems that happened to be present at the time. It is, in fact, one of the better memories of the George W Bush nightmare years.
Did we all just make that up? Or was Biden, you know, really telling the truth about that in his ABC interview?
