I’ll always have a soft spot for Jim Gilmore. He cared enough to stop and talk to those of us out FReeping the 2000 election fiasco outside the State Capitol on a rainy November Saturday.
On the face of it, sounds like one career politician replacing another, going from a position sitting next to the State treasury to one next to the bigger, Federal treasury. For all of his “conservative” credentials, he should have been doing what conservatives do: Working since 1992 in the free market, making a contribution. He’d be more in touch with the real world if he’d actually been in it for the last 16 years.
In the interest of disclosure, I’m from California and never heard of Bob Marshall.
