"Warner just got a rocket boost for his candidacy. He has shot to the top of the not-Hillary list. He'll be in great demand for Jefferson-Jackson (party fund-raising) dinners. He'll have more entree to the big donors and power brokers. He can offer himself as a successful Democratic governor of a red state at a time when Hillary Clinton has yet to demonstrate (in polls) that she has wide appeal in the red states."

 

-UVA political scientist Larry Sabato (who is quoted way too much by the way)
