Mark Warner and a 2008 senate bid

[PaDem]

Am I wrong to think a Mark Warner senate bid in 2008 would help the Democratic presidential nominee in Virginia? Is John Warner running for re-election or is he retiring? Mark Warner vs. a newcomer would be ideal for our presidential chances.

1. Chris Cillizza (WAPO) says Mark Warner is considering a run...

As Mike Shear and I wrote in this morning's Post, former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D) is considering a run for the Senate in 2008.

Warner, who dropped out of the presidential race last October, has had a number of discussions with Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) about the possibility, according to several informed sources.

The fact that Warner is even considering the race is a major accomplishment for Senate Democrats. In the past, Mark Warner has been adamant that he would not run against Sen. John Warner (R-Va.) due to a personal friendship that blossomed between the two in 2004.

But now Warner (Mark, that is) is refusing to rule out a candidacy whether or not John Warner decides to run for another term. John Warner has said he plans to run again but, as we report in the story, has signaled Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.) to be ready in the event those plans change.
