Gilmore waits as Warner wanes
My man Jim Gilmore has kept himself busy since his wise decision to step out of the GOP presidential nomination race earlier this summer. He’s been blogging at the VirginiaPatriot and criss-crossing his home state gathering support and feedback as he considers mounting a campaign should long-time Senator John Warner join many incumbent Republicans who have chosen to make this current term the last hurrah.
Now news that Gilmore (and Congressman Tom Davis who also covets the job) won’t have to wait much longer to find out if they’ll need to start raising dough and campaigning in earnest against oft-mentioned Democratic opponent Mark Warner.
Having both been governors of Virginia (the state does not allow consecutive terms by their executive) a race between Gilmore and Warner would be an interesting pairing.
