In this photo from the Republican Convention in Virginia, May 31, 2008, former Gov. Jim Gilmore addresses the delegates, as he appears on two large TV screens so that delegates in the back can see. Also on the podium are people who seconded his nomination.

    It was a very close vote. Due to the way the vote was weighted, if one or two folks from Loudon County had voted the other way, Marshall would’ve gotten it. Both camps ran a good game, and while I think I might have more in common with Marshall ideologically, Gilmore can definitely beat Warner come November.

    Webb-Allen was a 49-49% squeaker.

    Warner-Gilmore should be more decisive, with Warner the probable victor with 52-47%

    It may even be much, much worse if Bob Marshall supporters stay home stewing over the rumor that the nomination was fixed for Gilmore.

    I know it will be a disgusting, bitter pill for Bob, but for the good of the GOP team (and to help unify the Party for his next race) he should come out in a very public way and try to find a few nice things about the nominee.

    This task could be a huge challenge for Bob, since we all know what an honest man he is.
