I smell a rat. Mark Warner has all of a sudden announced he is not running for President in 2008. DailyKos accepts wholesale Warner's "I want to spend more time with my family" excuse but it just doesn't ring true. The man has been actively working New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Iowa for months. He didn't just wake up today and figure out that being President of the USA might take up a good part of each day should he be elected.
In fact, he is spending this weekend in Iowa. So obviously plans had been made to continue his campaign in Iowa - an odd place for a Virginia governor to campaign if he is not running for President - before whatever happened yesterday happened. I am sure SheBeast has the best opposition research team in the history of politics and whatever they found on Mr. Warner must have been very good. It eliminated the nutroots candidate without a single shot being fired (publicly).
Wonder if we'll ever find out what Mark Warner did and how SheBeast's minions found out?

Your theory is intriguing...I kind of hope we never find out.
