Mark Warner - Not Ready For Prime Time

It seems that after deciding to offer the Dem convo keynote address to Marky Mark, Dems decided that maybe he wasn't really ready for prime time after all and pulled him from the broadcast networks' coverage.

Members of Team Clinton were out with their knives after Marky Mark's speech. You can tell there is no love lost between those two camps.

So, the Clinton folks, sensing that Obama prefers Warner as the future of the Democratic Party over them, are out for blood against Warner/Kaine/Obama. Some of it they have to keep low. Some of it they can deliver through their surrogates. With all of that in mind, read what Howard Wolfson (Hillary's campaign hit man and a Clinton loyalist from way back) said regarding Mark Warner's keynote speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention: "The best part about Mark Warner's speech was that is was short."

And then there's this from Paul Begala, a Clinton operative from Texas who was an integral player/operative on all of Bill Clinton's Presidential campaigns: "Mark Warner wasn't talking to the Chamber of Commerce in Richmond, VA."

But if you, like me, had better things to do than watch Marky Mark ramble on spouting meaningless gibberish about "radical centrism," you'll want to check out D.J. McGuire's Warnerese-to-English translator.
