RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Mark Warner's recent travels look like a revived presidential bid. Not so, says the Virginia Democrat.
"I have no intention of getting back in the race," Warner told The Associated Press late last week, just hours before he headlined a dinner in South Carolina for about 50 people who had supported him in the early primary state.
The former Virginia governor surprised the political world last October when he abandoned the 2008 race despite raising more than $6 million and hiring veteran strategists. Warner, 52 and the father of three daughters who range in age from 12 to 17, cited his desire to spend time with his family.
Since then, he has dismissed about 35 members from a staff of 40 at Forward Together, his Alexandria, Va.-based political action committee. At the offices, framed photos have been removed from the walls and are stacked on the floor of the reception area. |
