According to the Washington post, (link http://blog.washingt…) former presidential possibility mark warner is considering a run at Virginia’s senate seat in 2008. He’s spoken with Chuck Schumer repeatedly, and will not rule out a run, with or without Senator John Warner running. If (Mark) Warner does indeed run, this would be momentous. For one, it’s another senate seat that opens up, possibly expanding our majority. Two, he might bring out voters and maybe even put Virginia into the dems column in the prez race for the first time since 1964. It could also bring out voters and get other house candidates elected in Virginia. This would be a top-tier race (Assuming both Warners run, mark Vs another candidate, such as Rep Tom Davis might lean more to our favor) and his running would have immense repercussions come 08. Let’s hope he dives in!

but picking up a seat like this is most important, so both the big and the little matter. So here goes:
Does having “Warner vs. Warner” present a problem for low-info voters? Has this happened before in recent memory in a race, and what, if any, effect does having two candidates with the sane name have on a race?
I know the two Warners in question couldn’t be more different, and both must have wide name-rec in the state, but still, I wonder…
