Preston Bryant, a former Republican delegate, and Democratic Del. Shannon R. Valentine, are hosting a fundraiser for former governor and U.S. Senate candidate Mark R. Warner (D) tonight in Lynchburg.

An email invitation from Valentine and Bryant, who now works in Gov. Timothy M. Kaine's administration, encourages supporters to attend "a fun, bipartisan evening."

"The crowd promises to have lots of R's and D's and I's,'' according to the invitation. "There will be good food and drink. And the setting will be spectacular."

The fundraiser will take place at the home of Jimmy and Trudy Davidson, longtime business and civic leaders in Lynchburg. About 150 guests are expected.

Warner will appear earlier in the day with U.S. Sen. Barack Obama in Bristol but will skip the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's evening event in Prince William County to attend his fundraiser.
