A Plea to Jeanne and Mark

Dear Jeanne and Mark:

I know that you both have done wonderful things for your states. You have served with distinction, and were both excellent governors. Ms. Shaheen, you are a master campaigner, and did wonders for the Gore & Kerry campaigns. Mr. Warner, you have managed to almost single-handedly revive the flailing Virginia Democratic Party and given the Dems a governor's mansion and a Senate seat. Now, I'm going to ask you both for one more favor. Please, oh please, run for the U.S. Senate seats in your states. The country needs you-the Democrats currently have a razor thin margin in the Senate that basically depends on how Joe Lieberman feels that week. The education, environment, and well-being of the country could hinge on whether or not you continue your excellent service to the country. You both would be superb senators, and I, along with the rest of the Democratic community, am begging you to run for these seats.

Much love and hope to see you at the ballot box,
John
