Not Larry Sabato: Bob McDonnell
Democrats have now tossed in their two cents on McDonnell for Senate. Ben over at NLS speculates on all the overblown talk of McDonnell running for U.S. Senate if John Warner chooses not to run.
Of course, all the talk you've heard springs from one hope alone: preventing a showdown between Bill Bolling and Bob McDonnell.
Insofar as this goes:(T)he deal between McDonnell and Davis has been struck years ago. Davis was an early endorser and organizer for McDonnell in Northern Virginia during the Attorney General's race. Anyone who knows Tom Davis, knows that he worked this out in advance of his Senate race and is trying to use his deal with McDonnell to lock down Hampton Roads. Why would Tom Davis want the demotion? Personally, I don't think he wants to run, and if he did I'm equally certain it would have been mentioned in the same breath as the McDonnell for Senate high-hopes.
After all, let's be very clear: McDonnell for Senate is entirely idle speculation on our part as bloggers. Shelve it in the category of "good idea". But don't take it too terribly seriously until Senator Warner chooses to bow out -- and that's not a guarentee.

For Bob to win he is going to have to loosen up, and "be like Mark". That means dress down a little, get in front of independent audiences, and jazz up his speeches. He does not exactly make people want to walk over hot coals for him.
I like Bill....but he should just be happy being the LG.
