Mark Warner to challenge John Warner in 2008?

If you're a frequent reader (thank you!), or you've read any of my entries on my old blog, you know that I absolutely loathe Senator John Warner - so naturally, this article is very encouraging to me!

Seems former Governor Mark Warner is being courted by national Democrats to challenge John Warner for his Senate seat in 2008, and according to WaPo sources on Capitol Hill, and in the state of Virginia, Mark Warner is very seriously considering it!!!

Mark Warner had dinner with Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.) last month, and the two have since talked regularly about the contest, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because a final decision has not been made.

If both Warners run, it would pit two of the commonwealth's most popular political figures against each other in a rematch of their 1996 U.S. Senate race.

"Governor Warner plans to stay engaged in the public policy debate and has not ruled out running for elected office again, either for the U.S. Senate or for governor," said Monica Dixon, executive director of Warner's Forward Together political action committee. Warner was out of the country and unreachable for comment.

RUN MARK, RUN!!!!!!!!
