Those who think Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.-N.Y.) already has the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination sown up ought to keep an eye on outgoing Democratic Gov. Mark Warner of Virginia.
Warner raised $2.5 million last week for his new PAC, Forward Together, at a single fundraiser—reported to be the most lucrative ever in Virginia. He will use the money to help Democrats in next November’s elections and position himself for the presidential campaign that begins in earnest the day after those elections.
