Today's Harvard Crimson reports on Virginia Gov. Mark Warner's speech there last night, at the school's Institute of Politics. Based on this report, Warner sounded very much like a Presidential candidate once again, following his successful appearance on Face the Nation last Sunday. At Harvard, Warner talked about his usual themes:
*"We?ve got to be willing to be bi-partisan in order to get things done."
*?We as a party have to take back this country."
*Fiscal responsibility.
*"Being part of the sensible center does not mean that we have to get rid of our progressive ideals."
Warner took a few swipes at the Bush Administration, calling for ?Making our ports, airports, and borders safer," asserting that America should be a "moral" leader as opposed to strictly a military one, and pointing out the debacle of Hurricane Katrina and specifically the Bush Administration's failure "to deliver resources 'in an effective way'."
Warner emphasized that "personal security, economic security...political efficacy and accountability" are key issues facing the country, and must become Democratic issues.
Finally, Warner quoted California Gov. Ah-nuld Schwarznegger to the Harvard audience, saying "I'll be back." Hey, isn't Harvard pretty close to New Hampshire? Yeah, I'd say h'ell be back, alright - plenty of times before January 2008, in fact. Nice skiing and hiking up there. Yeah, that's the ticket!! :)
