Spankie, four words: 2008 Republican Presidential nomination.

There were also repeated losses that occurred while he was Chairman of the Republican National Committee:

The guy is a failure, he should never had ran for the Senate seat, and John Hager et al. at the Republican Party of Virginia should never had screwed over Tom Davis.

Sure, Davis isn’t exactly Mr. Conservative, but he would be a hell of a lot better than Mark Warner. And if Davis had won, Warner’s political career would probably had been over.

You could also have tried to run a more conservative candidate for the Senate seat in 2014 to get rid of Davis…

I’m Surrounded by Idiots says:
“Now, that the certified loser Jim Gilmore has lost yet again”

This is the first election he has ever lost. Why not try and have some credibility in acknowledging that, instead of trying to rewrite history?

You seem to be proving that you surround yourself with people like yourself… do you not?

I could not agree more. Why put Gilmore up for Senate? I would have loved to see Davis in the Senate and I think he could have beaten Warner or at least given him a good run!

Let’s go for 2009! A clean sweep!! :-)
