This guy isn't really conservative enough for your theory to be totally correct.
I think he's just a naive guy who doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

What I meant "to the right" of Gilchrist is, I mean, pick a particular issue, such as Iraq War and Troops, to try to triangulate, and otherwise lessen the effect of a Gilchrist candidacy by attacking from the right. Just a theory here at this point. It will all come out. Follow the money. Follow the motivation. Follow the connections. It true, it's classic Sun-Tzu.
