It was also a race, Sabato says, that confirmed the rising star of outgoing Virginia Gov. Mark Warner."Oh, he's running. Mark Warner's stock is up in Virginia," he said. "George Allen, a senator, is running for the Republican nomination. His stock is down. He had strongly backed Kilgore. And Kilgore was a prot?g? of Allen's. So, Warner got his candidate elected pretty easily. Allen failed. I think [Warner] is helped, [Allen] is hurt."
