He says this race is not about John McCain but, rather, about Jim Gilmore being a voice of reason in the U.S. Senate ... and urges all including those who supported Bob Marshall to come out and vote November 4th for JIM GILMORE.
After successfully arguing why we need Jim Gilmore in the Senate, DJ concluded his post:
Don't tell me this race is "over." Every single vote cast for Jim Gilmore is a vote against that bailout. More importantly, every vote cast for Jim Gilmore is a warning to Washington never to do something this stupid again.Jim Gilmore for U.S. Senate 2008
That message will be much louder with 40% of the vote than 30% . . .
. . . 45% will make it louder still . . .
. . . and, if we can pull Gilmore up to 50%-plus-one, the message will reverberate through the country like an earthquake.
Don't tell me Gilmore can't catch up either. I remember a Republican "blue-blood" in New Jersey who was running more than twenty points behind with less than three weeks to go in the campaign. She ran on an anti-tax, populist platform, too. The elites laughed hysterically. Establishment types in both parties declared here a sure loser.
Yet on Election Night 1993, Christie Todd Whitman shocked the world and beat Jim Florio. The anti-tax shock waves rippled across the land and set up the GOP for the 1994 landslide. Meanwhile, Washington hasn't enacted a tax increase since.
Every vote matters now: win, lose, or draw. This isn't about personal battles for glory or reputation. This isn't even partisan anymore. This is us versus them, the sensible electorate versus the skittish and panicky elected, the sane masses versus an elite gone mad.
Jim Gilmore would have had my vote by default, but he's earned it now, and if you're a Virginia voter reading this, any Virginia voter reading this, he's earned your vote, too.
