Good News for Hillary

And, frankly, for the Republicans. Mark Warner, moderate Democrat and former Governor of Virginia, has decided not to run for President.

An attractive Southerner with more middle-of-the-road views than most Dems, it seemed possible that Warner could have caused some pretty severe political headaches -- not only for his Democratic competition like Hillary, but also for the GOP had he won the nomination.

It seemed that he was taking all the steps to undertake a presidential run, so it's not clear (for now) what changed his mind.
