Senator Warner was featured during a report on the CBS Evening News on Saturday about some of the frustrations felt by many moderates in the U.S. Senate.

In the piece, Senator Warner discussed his most disappointing day in the Senate:

"I came from a state where, as governor, I had a legislature that was two-to-one Republican, but we still found common ground and got stuff done," Warner said.

The Virginia Democrat considers himself a centrist and is used to building coalitions and compromise, but the terms "compromise" and "Capitol Hill" don't really go together so well these days.

"It's not what I expected," Warner said. "It's very frustrating." ...

Warner was particularly insulted to race back to Washington early from his mother's funeral in January to vote for a debt reduction commission. It failed after seven Republicans who co-sponsored the bill voted against it.

"I thought, you know, is the game cooked?" Warner asked. "I mean, is the whole thing fixed?"
