June 16, 2008
VA-Sen: Poor Jim Gilmore was positively savaged in the Washington Post yesterday (not that the guy needed additional bad press in his near-impossible race against his gubernatorial successor, Mark Warner). The article's caption reads: A former governor cites his ruinous term as his principal qualification. Ouch.
