Gilmore Wins Senate Nomination - Barely
Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore has just received the Republican nomination to replace retiring Sen. John Warner. His opponent for the nomination was Del. Bob Marshall. The nomination was decided at this weekend’s RPV State Convention in Richmond.
The final tally:
5,222 Gilmore
5,157 Marshall
Gilmore’s margin of victory was only 65 delegate votes, or less than 0.63%. This does not bode well for the re-election of current RPV chair John Hager, nor for the party in November.
Thanks to the Daily Press, The Shad Plank, Bearing Drift, and Virginia Virtucon for providing up to date reporting of the convention.
