Timothy E. Donner, a Northern Virginia television production company owner, is considering challenging George Allen for the Republican nomination in the 2012 U.S. Senate race, Politico reports.
Donner, founder of Horizons Television Inc. and a member of the Virginia Institute for Public Policy, is a couple of weeks away from a decision, an adviser told Politico.
If the wealthy conservative from Great Falls in Fairfax County does jump into the race, he could be one of many trying to defeat Allen, a former U.S. senator and Virginia governor.
Jamie Radtke, a tea-party activist, and David McCormick, a Hampton Roads attorney, are already seeking the nomination along with Allen.
Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey A. Stewart and state Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, have also hinted at runs, along with others.
The Republican ticket for the elusive Webb seat has become quite crowded, hasn’t it? There is no reason at all for Tim Kaine to announce his intentions. He can just sit back and let the Republicans devour each other, then decide what he is going to do. Kaine has said he will announce his intentions towards the end of the month.
Politicos have said the more Republicans who emerge as contenders, the better chance Allen will have because of name recognition. Not sure about that one. Anyone else?
It sounds like this dude is going to run on an anti-Obama ticket. Wow! That’s original.
Isn’t competition wonderful?
I don’t even think this guy represents competition. First he Obama bashes then says he will probably be re-elected and that’s why he should be in the Senate. Go figure.
What’s happening down in ‘real Virginia’ this week, Cargo?
I like not having only once choice.
It’ll be interesting. So far I’m inclined to Radtke but I’d like to listen to hear what the others have to say.
I have absolutely no idea? I apparently spend all of my time here.
@Cargo, you won’t learn anything here. People here seem to be of mixed thought…well, except you lie who is doing is daily troll drive-by.
I want a PWC guy to get it. Yes! That’s the ticket!
