Have you ever heard of Jim Gilmore?

He plans to announce his candidacy for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination in the first week of August 2015

This guy is dangerous...

Gilmore is the President & CEO of the Free Congress Foundation , a conservative think tank which was founded by Paul Weyrich. Paul Weyrich was a white supremacist, anti Semite, anti gay etc. He passed away in 2008

know much about him. They also said the same thing about Jim Webb in the same Poll. That is incredulous because both have held statewide offices in Virginia.

Your assessment is correct about Gilmore.

The other republicans aren't that much better either

He's currently polling at 0.1 percent. He also lost his Senate run in Virginia by almost 40 points. If he's dangerous, I think we'll be okay.
