Delegate Robert G. Marshall yesterday criticized fellow Prince William County Republicans for supporting former Gov. James S. Gilmore III's U.S. Senate bid, saying they should stop "fooling" their conservative base and come clean about Mr. Gilmore's stance on abortion.
"I don't know how they can blink at 700,000 abortions and still say he supports the sanctity of life," Mr. Marshall said of Delegates Scott Lingamfelter and Jeffrey M. Frederick's endorsements of Mr. Gilmore despite his belief government should not intrude during the first eight weeks of pregnancy. "That's the tipping point for me."
Mr. Marshall, 63, Mr. Gilmore, 58, and political newcomer Robert Berry, 51, are running for the Republican nomination to replace retiring Sen. John W. Warner at the May convention. The winner will likely face Mark Warner, the popular former Democratic governor.
