A brief time out from Frawley and Gingrich (see below posts for more).
It's been reported that Sen. John Warner raised only $500 (not a typo - five hundred dollars!) in the first quarter of '07.
If Warner retires, Tom Davis is going to aim for that seat. If the national Dems want to make a serious play for VA's electoral votes in '08, they should do all they can to help Chap Petersen defeat Jeannemarie Devolites Davis this year. An '07 victory for VA Dems, particularly if they gain a majority in the State Senate, could lead to Dem takeovers of Davis's U.S. House seat and Warner's U.S. Senate seat. Dems and the self-proclaimed elite (I'm talking to you Wash Post) should see these opportunities as too valuable to again waste dithering about how the Davises are good and moderate people. Of course, I don't think they're either, but they've been coasting on that bs for too long.
Chap in '07.
Mark Warner for U.S. Senate in '08.
Brian Moran for VA Governor in '09.
You all can fight about who gets Tom Davis's House seat. I think Andy Hurst deserves another shot.
