Gilmore was dead on arrival the moment he was nominated. Warner unfairly blamed Gilmore for the budget problems in Warner's first year in office. He whined like crazy. The press and public bought it. Gilmore's ratings went down and never recovered.

Gilmore will easily lose by 10 to 15 points and the race will be called at 7 pm sharp.

Mark Warner makes my skin crawl. There has been almost no coverage of the senate race in the Wash DC area and Gilmore has no money for ads.

The last time I checked, M. Warner had $4 million and Gilmore had $250,000. No one gives money to a candidate who is 30 points behind in the polls.

Like Reagan, I don’t believe in a fate you can’t avoid no matter what you do. To win that race Gilmore needs to get very aggressive. He should pounce on his NRA-bashing, the bailout, taxes. Over and over.

Warner is a likely POTUS candidate for 2012. We shouldn’t let him walk in unopposed.
