Need a Laugh?.....Ladies and Gentlemen, President Gilmore

In his recent column, Why Jim Gilmore can be president, Bowden argues that Gilmore can and will be the next POTUS.

Gilmore fills the void Sen. George Allen left after he self-destructed this fall. Moreover, he stands taller than the few fellows running now who share the Right.

Yes, because this race needs a REAL conservative. That's the rationale Gilmore used to jump into the race. And so did Mitt Romney and Sam Brownback and Duncan Hunter and Tommy Thompson and Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee (oops, sorry; apparently Huckabee's first name is now "David," at least according to the well-informed Bowden) and the next 4 or 5 Republicans openly flirting with running for President.

By the way, I'm picking on Virginia's former Governor but I actually am a big fan. After all, Gimore gave us Governor Mark Warner, who in turn brought us Governor Tim Kaine.  Hell, without Gilmore (and the backlash to Gilmore here in Virginia), we might still have Senator Allen and a GOP-controlled U.S. Senate!

All in all, what this article by Bowden says about the 2008 Republican nomination race is right on the money.  Republicans have had eight years to come up with a decent crop of candidates to succeed George W. Bush.  Yet, the current GOP field is a joke. God Bless America.
