You poor bastard - you don't even know that Gillespie's not running for Senate.
Typical out-of-stater.

When he was attending Catholic University of America, Ed Gillespie worked three jobs, one in a campus dining hall, one as a short-order cook and one parking cars at the U.S. Senate.
Through the job as a parking lot attendant, Gillespie learned of an internship opportunity that led to a job on Capitol Hill, and he has not stopped working in politics and public affairs since.
Gillespie, communications ace, former lobbyist and senior aide to President George W. Bush, will find out Tuesday if Virginia voters will send a Reagan conservative to the Virginia governor’s mansion in the era of Donald Trump.
Should Gillespie succeed, he would become the first Republican elected statewide in Virginia since Bob McDonnell led his party’s sweep of statewide offices in 2009. He would likely have a GOP-controlled legislature to pass a broad agenda of bills he could sign into law.
“Job creation, getting Virginia growing again, is central to my campaign,” Gillespie said in an interview Thursday. “I truly think we should be first in the country. ... I’ve been talking about this from day one.”
The race between Gillespie and Democratic Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam is considered close. Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by 5.3 percentage points in Virginia in November, but with lower turnout expected in this year’s governor’s race, Gillespie has given hope to Republicans.
This is Gillespie’s second run for statewide office in Virginia, after narrowly losing to U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., in a low turnout 2014 election.

Before you continue on with your Gillespie cheerleading, the least you could do is learn what office he's seeking. LOL
Orly? Gillespie hasn't been very supportive of President Trump. If he had been, he'd probably stand a much better chance of winning tonight.
Let's hope he wins. I find it hard to believe that he's a "Reagan conservative". In Virginia, that hardly seems likely...
The way Cheap Labor Express Ed’s being portrayed by the paid GOPe shills on Free Republic today, you’d think that Gillespie’s channeling Ronaldus Magnus himself. Why, some are so enamored of the “R” after his name they’re not even sure what Ed’s running for!
I was just thinking what the headlines will be tomorrow if Gillespie loses:
REPUBLICAN LOSES, PARTY WILL NEVER AGAIN RUN A RINO
OR
TRUMP LOSES VA AGAIN
I like the first one!
Now fess up - you're voting for the Dem aren't you?
And by the way
if I'm wrong, I admit it - you seem to try to ignore it....
So how much are you being paid to shill for them? Now fess up...
Gillespie has done that himself, don’t beat up someone for stating the obvious.
If Gillespie wins, it will happen in spite of himself... He can thank that racist latino ad for handing him the election.

Well, if conservatives had been at their game, they would have fronted a real conservative. Be that as it may, he’s gotta be better than what the democrats are selling, if only slightly so. Baby steps are better than no steps at all.
