A Bundle of Nerves
Hypocrite Hillary balks at open disclosure. Mark Warner to announce. Down and dirty in South Carolina. Plus more.

John Warner
.
Privately Republicans have said for months that — depending on
what John Warner decided — a Warner would be the Senator from
Virginia one way or the other. Mark Warner has seen public and some
internal polling that indicates he is well ahead of both of his
prospective Republican challengers, former Gov.
Jim
Gilmore
and Rep.
Tom Davis
. But Warner’s
advisers have also included in some of their polling a third name:
Rep.
Eric Cantor
.
/p>
“Cantor does a bit better than either Gilmore of Davis in the southern part of the state,” says one campaign adviser. “But Cantor isn’t getting into this race.”
Cantor, who’s considered a rising star among conservatives, has low name recognition across Virginia, particularly in the now important Northern Virginia suburbs outside of Washington, D.C., where Democrats have made heavy inroads. In fact, Tom Davis’s district has become so Democratic over the past 15 years that it’s not clear he could defeat a well-financed and popular local Democrat for his House seat in 2008.
