Mark Warner Lobbies Hard to Be on Debt “Super Committee”

Sen. Warner's main arguments why he should be on the Senate's debt reduction "super committee": 1) He's willing to be "bold;" 2) He's "really serious;" 3) He's committed to addressing entitlement spending; 4) He's worked with "a bunch of Republican colleagues and actually put a plan together." From progressives' point of view, I'm not sure any of those arguments are convincing, but we'll see what happens. What do you think? Do you want to see Mark Warner on this new "super committee?"
