Gilmore Announces Senate Run
Written by Sam on November 20th, 2007
Former Republican Gov. Jim Gilmore announced yesterday that he will run for the U.S. Senate seat held by retiring Republican John Warner.
Gilmore’s announcement sets up a campaign with another former governor, Democrat Mark R. Warner - a clash between two men with vastly different views about government and little affection for the other.
Gilmore would make for an awesome Senator, but it’s going to be a tough battle against Mark Warner. He will have to hit Warner hard on his tax and spend leftist agenda while Virginia governor. He has a good video announcement below:

“Gilmore would make for an awesome Senator”
Huh, based on what exactly?
All reviews of him by conservatives who I trust have not been positive from what I’ve seen, just a sampling:

I do know for sure that Gilmore would make a terrible candidate.
I have heard that General Pace might run.
