Senator Warner appeared on CNN’s State of the Union this weekend with Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) to discuss budget negotiations and the need to tackle the nation’s debt and deficits. There also was a lot of talk about whether or not there would be government shutdown later this week:

‘I think there seems to be some agreement around the top line number. We ought to show that we as the American government can get our act together and make sure there’s not a shutdown,’ Senator Warner told host Candy Crowley.
