Warner Retires

John Warner has announced he won't seek reelection next year, setting up a potentially tough primary and possibly putting the seat into play. Senator John Ensign, Chairman of the NRSC, released the following statement:

"Although we are sorry to see the people of Virginia lose such a tireless advocate as Sen. Warner, we respect his decision to retire from the Senate after 30 years of honorable service. The NRSC will be working with Senator Warner to field a strong Republican candidate to continue his work on behalf of the people of Virginia."

Reid will have more Warner's retirement in a bit.
