In my election prediction post from yesterday, an anonymous commenter suggested former Governor Warner of Virginia, a Democrat. He fits all the criteria I mentioned- Governor experience, white, male, born 1954, Ivy League law degree, southerner. I don't know his religion, but he is probably Protestant. Better yet, he ran for Senate and lost, so he doesn't have the Senatorial taint I wrote about.
He seems like a credible candidate. I like that he failed in business twice before succeeding (he was a founder of Nextel) and that he didn't want to practice law even though he had a law degree. I don't know his positions on anything, but he has the right characteristics.
