FLASHPOINT for Sep 07, 2006

Thursday, Sept. 7, 2006 | 7:15 a.m.

The parade has begun, folks. Tune in tonight to see former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, seen by many as the centrist Democratic solution to Hillary Clinton, on "Face to Face." Warner has studied the homeland security issue and was here to show off his bona fides and stump with local candidates. All these folks will be asked about their record on Yucca Mountain, and Warner seemed puzzled when I refreshed his memory about being one of three governors to sign a 2005 letter hyped by the Nuclear Energy Institute that advocated finishing the dump by 2010. Warner, of course, now has changed his mind and wants to talk about reprocessing and dry cask storage. Good briefing, governor. This is going to be fun.
