Jim who???​

Yet another Republican, one whom we didn't expect, is also planning to run for the GOP nomination:

Former Va. Gov Jim Gilmore Tells Paper He s Running for President - NBC News

Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore says he's planning to announce a run for the GOP presidential nomination.

"I bring to the table experience that others don't have," Gilmore said in an interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He told the paper that he'll make his announcement during the first week of August.

He served as Virginia's governor from 1998 to 2002.

With Walker and Kasich also in the mix, that will then be SEVENTEEN GOPers and FIVE Democrats: 22 instead of 21.

Blackjack no more...

Now, before you ask "Jim who?" - he briefly ran in 2008 and dropped out quickly for lack of funds.

He also got his ass whipped by Mark Warner in the VA Senate race, 65 to 34.

One interesting tidbit about no-name Gilmore:

Gilmore created the nation's first state Secretary of Technology, a position first held by Donald Upson. Together they established a statewide technology commission, and signed into law the nation's first comprehensive state Internet policy.

He might well be smarter than all the other GOP candidates combined.

He might well be smarter than all the other GOP candidates combined.

His fundraising will be even less this time around, as he is even less known than he was the first time.

Not a terrible guy, but not a strong candidate by any means. A bit soft and mushy.

And the fact that Conservatives are not rushing to this thread only proves what little name recognition the poor sop has....

Actually it shows how little they care about what you have to say about it.
