Virginia's senate seat going Democrat in '08

As far as I can tell, Virginia's 2008 U.S. Senate race won't even be close. Popular former Governor Mark Warner - a Democrat - just stepped into the race to replace equally popular retiring Republican Sen. John Warner (no relation).

With Republicans already losing ground over their inability to put together a unified message that actually attracts anyone with half a brain, the Democrats are already well on their way to gaining ground in the Senate and winning the presidency. This is just one more step forward for them.
