Just in case you missed this from earlier today:
Northern Virginia Republican Rep. Tom Davis will seek to succeed retiring U.S. Senator John Warner next year, a congressional source close to the seven-term congressman told The Examiner on Friday."Tom's running," the source said. "He didn't want to say more today because it's the senator's day. He's also very involved in the upcoming General Assembly elections and doesn't want to distract from the party's efforts on that front."
Not that this is a big surprise, given that Davis has de facto been running for the past year or so. The Examiner adds, "The fight for the Republican Senate nomination could incite a political civil war between the GOP's moderate and conservative wings - a split that could largely break along geographic lines."
I can't wait.
I love this quote from Gilmore's Official Blog:
"I certainly do not seek a race against Gov. Warner, but I would run one if it was in the best interests of the state. And I would be pleased to match my record as governor against his any time."
Ha!!
