“Iâm with you. I have caught myself looking elsewhere. Anyone know anything about Gilmore?”
Gilmore was a good governor here in VA. His stead hand saw us through 9/11, and he stood by his promises to eliminate the hated personal property tax, moving toward phasing it out until Mark Warner came to office.
And...
Gilmore is the only GOP candidate with military experience, having served in the Army. Gilmore enlisted in the United States Army after attending college, receiving training and preparation for service in the Military Intelligence Corps at the newly created United States Army Intelligence Center at Fort Huachuca in Arizona. Gilmore also received rigorous foreign language education at the United States Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. Gilmore then worked for three years in the early 1970s, in the 650th Military Intelligence Group. Gilmore served in West Germany during the Vietnam War and is fluent in the German language.

Wow. Is he a social conservative too? The elimination of the private property tax is a huge thing. Shows he has the proper perspective.
