Democrat Seeks a National Identity (Mark Warner)

Propelled by his popularity at home, Gov. Mark Warner of Virginia has begun a major foray onto the national stage, raising millions of dollars for his likely presidential bid and visiting states already being courted by potential 2008 contenders.

The latest stop came in Florida this weekend at a state Democratic Party convention just outside Orlando, where Governor Warner took the opportunity to tell how he had led Democrats out of the political wilderness in heavily Republican Virginia - with the implication that he could do the same for Democrats nationally in 2008.

"Virginia is as red a state as you can imagine," Governor Warner told Democrats who packed a hotel reception room on Saturday night.

Then, describing his own formula for success, he continued: "As Democrats, what we have to do is put forward ideas and candidates that can win in places like Florida, that can win in places like Virginia."
