Former Virginia governor Mark R. Warner holds a 30-point lead over his two potential Republican rivals in next year's U.S. Senate race, boosting Democrats' chances of expanding their congressional majority and highlighting the party's ascendancy in the state, according to a new Washington Post poll.

The Senate race will unfold against the backdrop of next year's presidential campaign, and the poll suggests that the state's 13 electoral votes could be up for grabs. By a margin of 11 percentage points, Virginians would prefer that the next president be a Democrat, indicating that even a reliably red state could flip in 2008.



Looks like my state will finally turn blue come next year!

5. VA

Mark Warner will be most probably be elected as the States Senator. In the case of the Presidential Race, am not so sure that the State would go blue.
Many people that I know would vote for Warner, but would not vote for Obama or Hilary.

6. I agree they won't vote for Hilliary or Obama - I live here in a "red" part

of the state, although very close to Fairfax. People here are bigots and still think women should be barefoot and pregnant. They do, however, love Mark Warner.

All I can hope is that nationally the Dems host a better candidate than those two.

7. In the last poll..

Rasmussen, I believe it was, Clinton lead ghouliani by 1 point.
