Draft Mark Warner Response to Gov. Mark Warner's
Decision to Not Run for President

October 12th, 2006—Nearly two years ago, Draft Mark Warner began a quest to convince Virginia Gov. Mark Warner to seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. Since that time, Warner supporters from across the nation have been engaged in building support for a Warner candidacy.

We started this effort because America is on the wrong path and the nation is looking for someone to step up and lead. Gov. Warner is the “Mark” of Leadership.

Draft Mark Warner supporters continue to believe Gov. Warner is the right man, with the right message, at the right time. Today’s announcement does not change that reality. He was not a candidate for president when this effort began. His supporters will not vanish. We will continue to urge a change of direction in Washington. Gov. Warner has lifted the bar for those who will run in 2008.

Partisan division is a destructive force in this nation. Gov. Warner has the support of the vast majority of Virginians, including many Republicans. He has made countless new friends nationwide, as have we. Those of us who have benefited from his gifted talents will continue to support him as he charts his future. It has been a privilege.

We will continue to evaluate the sentiments of the movement and monitor the response from his followers.
