Ex-Gov. Gilmore got the worst drubbing for a so-called first tier Senate candidate in Virginia since the GOP became viable again in the modern era (getting 33.7%(!) of the vote against Mark Warner in 2008). He’d be lucky to win a State House seat at this point, as running for President is delusional.
He continued, "Rick Santorum got his butt kicked in a Senate race but I was REALLY taken out back and horsewhipped. You thought Pataki had no rationale for running, I really blow him out of the water!"
