This would be great news. (Also, I think VA is a major pick up opportunity for the D-MoveOn.org so getting top-class conservative candidate is a must).

I wish him (and his family) well and if I were a resident of Virginia, he'd have my vote...

Thanks,

He is a class act; I met him sixteen years ago. I have no idea what his politics are though.

It would be great if he could make the Senators who treated him shabbily squirm just by being among them as a fellow Senator.

Just as Senator Sessions ran for the Senate after they denied him advancement on the courts?

Of course I don’t know his politics. I have a hard time imagining he’d be worse then Warner’s self appointed successor though.

If he runs, I WILL donate to the cause... Gen Pace is great... Plus, Remember when the Senate rejected Sessions for an nomination the judiciary, and he came back as a Senator.. Pay backs can be sweet..

How about running him for President? He’d be better than Fredrudy McRomney.

If what George Allen said was enough to make him lose, won’t General Pace’s statements about homosexuality make him unnaceptable to Virginians?

After experiencing first-hand the circus called the Senate, I wouldn’t blame General Pace if he would choose not to run.

A great man—he’d make a great senator.

The Washington Post and the gay lobby will tear him to shreds.

They will also be blaming him for Abu Grahib, Haditha, and Rush Limbaugh.
