Mark Warner, the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, has the support of many Republican officials, according to a recent Richmond Times Dispatch article. (I'm aware this won't count for my news media commentary for WashPost.com, it's cool).
The former governor gave a news conference in Richmond Friday accompanied by several former GOP state legislators, including former Senate Finance Committee Chairman John H. Chichester of Northumberland County. Chichester said that he and other Republicans support Warner for Senate because of his focus on leadership.
It could be interesting to see what effect this news has on the race. It has been no secret that Warner is considered a stronger candidate than Gilmore by many. My last blog entry reveals that- I mean, if the guy whose spot you're trying to get in Senate doesn't even support you, what does that say?
We'll see what happens next.
