Virginia: Draft Tom Davis for Senate...

[SaveElmer]

Crazy you think...?

Well rumor has it Tom Davis is thinking of punking out on being the sacrificial challenger to Mark Warner...

This means the 11th district seat he has now will not be vacant so will be harder for us to pick up...

So I say we start a Draft Tom Davis movement...convince him to run for Senate so we can have his Congressional seat too!!!!

Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R) is hinting that he is unlikely to be a candidate in next year's U.S. Senate race.

As reported this morning by The Hill newspaper, Davis spoke to a breakfast gathering at the National Press Club yesterday. At the event, Davis said he may be inclined to challenge Sen. James Webb in 2012 instead of taking on Democrat Mark R. Warner in 2008 for the seat of retiring Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va).

"There are other races; this isn't the only shot," said Davis, according to The Hill. "You've got a very vulnerable guy sitting there in the other Senate seat right now who may or may not run in four years. And you know what? If you don't go to the Senate, so what? I've been a committee chairman in the House. I've got my portrait hanging on a wall. I've been pretty productive legislatively."

1. Umm Webb is vulnerable? I think he is hoping there will be an earlier vacancy

if Webb is VP candidate or something.
