Until I know a little more about Gilmore, I have to say Duncan Hunter is the best of the declared candidates so far; Mitt Romney the best among those who have a decent chance of winning.
Gilmore's pretty conservative across the board, including illegals. He just doesn't froth at the mouth. Lacking a WOW factor? You bet.

I think Duncan Hunter may not have the pretty boy factor, like Mitt Romney, but I really like the Army Ranger, presidential way about him. It's going to be important for the people to look at the candidate and think that is the person you could rely on for your safety. And Hunter is great and witty with what he says. He just cuts right to the issue. After all the complaining about how the GOP sits back and allows themselves to be attacked, Hunter calls the media/Demonrats out on it and that's what I really like about him.
