Mark Warner Raising Money for 2014 Already?

Yes, it is true.  Marky Mark is already raising money for 2014.  In fact, he’s having a breakfast tomorrow morning in Washington, D.C. for the 2014 race hosted by former Virginia Congressman L.F. Payne at the offices of McGuireWoods. A copy of the invitation can be found right here.  (Note that it says nothing about debt relief for his 2008 race, therefore the money has to be for 2014 unless he is secretly building a warchest to challenge The Teleprompted One in the 2012 primaries, which I doubt.)

Let’s put it this way – the 2014 election is so far away that I had to just create a new category for “2014 Elections” here on the blog.  You know who should be furious about this?  Creigh “What’s In Your Wallet?” Deeds.  Marky Mark is out there sucking up cash that Deeds could otherwise try to get hold of for his race this year.  Is this a sign that even Warner knows that Deeds doesn’t have a shot come November?  Or does Warner know that he’s already pissed off much of the business community that had been with him in his two successful races and realizes that he better build up his cash now since he won’t have them in his corner next time.
