Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.) is expected to announce that he will not be running for the seat of retiring Republican Sen. John Warner, according to a senior Virginia Republican familiar with Davis’ plans.
The seven-term congressman began telling close friends of his intentions last week.
His decision would leave former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore as the only GOP Senate candidate left in a state that had been reliably Republican but where Democrats have won two consecutive governor’s races and, in 2006, unexpectedly nabbed the other Senate seat.

I can’t bear to read the comments section on the Politico’s website anymore! Either the Moonbats are on duty 24/7.... most likely the case... or there are more f’n STUPID people in DC than there are in MA!
Now there’s a tough election!
Jim Gilmore is a good guy. Low key, but gets the job done. I’m sorry he couldn’t get more traction in his presidential run, but he will make a lot better senator than John Warner.

Pace for Senate
Mark Warner was the butthead who cut the hours on liquor stores and the DMV. Gilmore has my vote!
Wasn’t Warner the signor of the 1,000 speeding ticket for Va residents only law?
It was a Republican legislature that passed the bill for the Democrat governor to sign into law. :(
Wasn’t he Al Franken’s old partner? ;-)
I thought General Pace’s name had been floated about as a Sen. nominee for Va.?
I like Gilmore fine. He is a nice guy.
But someome like Pace might be able to actually win. I am not sure Gilmore can against warner.
Very true. Jim Gilmore will be a fine Senator from Virginia!
GO GILMORE!!!!
Between Tom Davis and Al Franken, I wish Davis would run for the Senate and Franken would run for Cuba.
Honestly, I can’t understand how those two ever got along.
He said he wasn’t running and that anti semtic congressman Jim Moran is upset.
