Mark Warner Making Announcement On His Political Future Thursday

Former Virginia governor Mark Warner (D) will be making an announcement on his political future Thursday.

Many expect him to launch a candidacy for the Senate for the seat vacated by retiring Sen. John Warner (R-Va.).  But he also is considered a top contender for the vice-presidential slot on the Democratic ticket in 2008, and also could be a candidate (again) for the Virginia governorship in 2009.
