ormer Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore announced he is suspending his campaign for president.

"My campaign was intended to offer the gubernatorial experience, with the track record of a true conservative, experienced in national security, to unite the party."

By the looks of his votes, he sure must have a large family.


He offered free hot dogs to the home town crowd for votes.

Sensible, when you’re outpolled by withdrawn and joke candidates you have to save face. Who’s your second choice?

Actually, the one time I heard Gilmore speak (some event in NH a few weeks ago) he sounded pretty good: strong on national security and 2nd Amendment issues. Kind of a shame he didn’t get any traction. He’s was the only governor or former governor in the race left standing that didn’t sound like a RINO.

The candidate next to Vermin Supreme looks like he’s about to blow a gasket.
