Who?
Exactly.
But I thought I'd mention it anyway.
Jim Gilmore -- about whom you can learn more here, should you feel the need -- is a former one-term governor of Virginia and chairman of the Republican Party. He is, to put it mildly, a completely undistinguished candidate. Yet he's running for president.
Steve Benen asks the right question: Why? Gilmore "was among the worst governors in modern history": "He ran for office on a pledge to eliminate Virginia’s car tax, and once in office, successfully pushed it through the legislature. The move ruined the state’s finances, prompting Republicans in the legislature to revolt and insist that Gilmore reverse course. The governor refused, sending the state’s political and budgetary system into a tailspin." Overall, he "has an abysmal record and a dull personality."
Sounds perfect.
For now, I support Jim Gilmore to be the Republican nominee for president in 2008.
