OK, can anyone tell me a bit about this guy? What are his positions on, well, anything you think is important? Can he make these beliefs clear and understood? Will he do well as a campaigner? I really want to find a candidate that (a) I support, and (b) can win, and I have to say I'm not that impressed with the present lineup.

He was formerly head of the RNC, but Bush fired him in 2001 after he failed to keep the Republican hold on to the governor's seat in his home state.
He's about as relevant as Mike Gravel.
I'm aware of Gilmore.
He was once RNC chair as well as VA Gov. He knows his way around the corridors of power. He's been on MTP and other interview shows, just not lately (that I've seen). I don't know what he has to say about specific issue positions and frankly don't particularly want to know. I see him as a Party guy, a behind the scenes operative guy etc., maybe a Governor since he was one, but not anything beyond that.
He is very boring. I don't like him or dislike him. He might think he offers something special, but issue positions ain't gonna cut it when you lack the rest. I'm supporting DUNCAN HUNTER.
