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. Webb-Allen was a 49-49% squeaker.

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. It was a very close vote.
