Great news for Democrats! Former Virginia Governor Mark Warner is entering the United States Senate race in Virginia. From Taegen Goddard's Politicalwire.com:
Former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D) "is widely expected to announce his candidacy for the U.S. Senate on Thursday, pledging to bring a spirit of bipartisanship to Washington," according to the Virginian-Pilot.
"Warner, in around-the-clock meetings and phone calls with political advisers in recent weeks, has been weighing whether to run for the Senate seat being vacated next year by longtime Republican incumbent John Warner, or wait until 2009 and run again for governor."
"One strategist who asked not to be identified said Warner has put out word to a few that he has decided on the Senate. Many others said Warner had indicated in conversations with them in recent days that he is leaning heavily toward the Senate."
