Retiring GOP Senator (Warner/R-VA) Not Endorsing GOP Nominee For Seat
Retiring GOP Senator Not Endorsing GOP Nominee For Seat
By Eric Kleefeld - June 5, 2008, 9:01AM


In yet another sign that the Republicans will almost certainly lose their open Senate seat in Virginia, retiring GOP Sen. John Warner doesn't appear to be willing to endorse former Gov. Jim Gilmore, who only narrowly won the nomination at this past weekend's state party convention.

"I'm not going to keep answering this question about Gilmore," Warner told The Hill. "I'll get my press office to send you a statement."

Gilmore trails his Democratic opponent, former Gov. Mark Warner -- no relation to John -- by a wide margin in all the polls.

:evilgrin:
