RICHMOND, Oct. 15 -- Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and former governor Mark R. Warner are dominating the race for campaign cash as the two Democrats step up efforts to take from Republicans the General Assembly this fall and a U.S. Senate seat next year.

In campaign finance reports filed Monday, Kaine and Warner reported that they each had more than $1 million in the bank, which political observers said was another sign that the state's Democratic Party is on the rebound.

Warner raised $1.1 million for his Senate race in the three weeks after his Sept. 13 announcement that he plans to seek the seat of Sen. John W. Warner (R), who is retiring. He raised half that amount during the first three days of his campaign, an impressive feat, because federal law limits donors to contributing no more than $2,300 to individual campaigns.

1. Replacing J. Warner with M. Warner would be a big improvement

Also, Virginia has been trending Dem over the last several presidential elections.

2. Mark Warner was a very good Governor for this state

I'm sure Virginians will remember that when they reach the polls
