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." Gilmore said, "My goal was to focus on the importance of this election as a real turning point, and to emphasize the dangers of continuing on a road that will further undermine America's economy and weaken our national security."

Trump will pick up one of his supporters, and Cruz will probably get the other one.

Nope. He couldn’t carry Virginia. He got 1/3rd(!) of the vote in his last statewide race. The biggest disaster for a first-tier candidate in the modern era in Virginia.

He should have continued campaigning at least until the Virginia primary. Only two states voted, and we don’t know the views of the other 48 states. I didn’t have a second choice. I’ll vote for myself for delegate. I’ll take a poll, among voters of the 10th Congressional District, and I’ll ask them whom they support, out of a few choices, whom I’ll choose, on about March 1. I’ll tell (on facebook and twitter) who wins that poll, and, if I win the delegate election, I’ll go to the convention and vote for that candidate.

No full-term Governors. Only two more to go.

Exactly, if you weren’t from Virginia you would have no idea who he is.

Jim Gilmore?

I thought he played baseball for the old Washington Nats in 1875.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much for this guy (he’s an ex-governor, you know) swooping in and riding to victory.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The goofy guy who wants every American to own a pony and brush their tree has an exponentially better chance at becoming POTUS than this guy.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s a couple FReepers that must be sobbing large tears of the sorrowful.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say he was the best of the VA Republican statewide officeholders since 1969, but that’s not saying too much.
