There was a lot Sen. Mark Warner said in our interview on NBC12 First at 4 today, but is what he refused to say that is perhaps the most telling. Asked directly to rule out a potential run for governor of Virginia in 2013, Warner changed the subjected and reiterated his desire to stay focused on the 2012 election.
He did not say that he was interested, but he certainly avoided saying that he was not interested.
Warner admitted that his work in the U.S. Senate is not always that fulfilling, but did say there is work left to be done.
"It's no newsflash that sometimes the work in the Senate frustrates me," Warner said. "But I have a job to do on debt and deficit, If we don't get that fixed, it won't matter whoever the mayor is, whoever the governor is, our country is going to be a lot less prosperous going forward."

Whatever. Carter lacked piiatocll acumen. No argument here. But he WAS the only guy, like, ever, to get the Israel Jews and the Egyptians to make a stab at getting along (not in the usual way, I mean). And almost won something on this point. As for "malaise", it was about on the level of "buy a pair of socks."Poorly stated but on the money. I know about this sort of thing.Carter was never a delusional hallucinogenic chimp-lover and he wasn't just a peanut farmer, he was a peanut scientist. On a nuc sub, no less.And he thought it might be nice to try to use his retirement to help build houses for poor people & try his hand, as best he good, at feelance ambassadorship.He's also been called The Best Ex-President.Not the best president, of course. What, you think I talk to my monkey or something?
