About Sen. John Warner
When John Warner announced his intention to seek re-election this year to the U.S. Senate, he asked an interesting question: “Can an elected leader in Virginia vote his conscience for what he regards to be in the best interest of his country and his state — putting principle before politics — and be returned to office?”
Warner is a rare breed ip contemporary American politics, one who speaks his mind quite often regardless of the political consequences. For that, Virginians have re-elected him by overwhelming margins in his two previous campaigns (74 percent in 1984 and 82 percent in 1990). He is the same principled conservative he was when first sent to the U.S. Senate. But also for that, from internal Republican Party battles Warner is how suffering the sharp sting of critical rejection from some in the GOP forgetting what he has done tp build that same party over the past three decades.
