I think what needs to be looked at here is that we are giving credance that Gilmore is running as conservative Republican. His record and views are not the ticket we need. Focus needs to be on Marshall and what he is doing. New blood, old traditional views.

I was at a GOP fundraiser, within earshot of Jim Gilmore and a (conservative) former GOP Supervisor back when that individual was still in office, and Gilmore was our Governor. As that Supervisor offered his hand, Gilmore said to him, plainly, “You are still in office?”, and turned away.

Nice job, guy. What a way to treat your people.

Rick is exactly correct. I was ON the stage, and Greg does not accurately report how Gilmore came onto the stage.

As for “glaring,” I can’t honestly say. Even if he had been, Jay certainly couldn’t have seen it, with the bright lights on the stage. I could barely see that Gilmore was there, and he was right in the front row.

Someone needs to go tell BVBL to amend the report, then, because he gets about 20 times the traffic that we get and it is a pretty unambiguous account.

Huh? Jim Gilmore did NOT “storm the stage” at the 11th District Convention. Convention Chairman Jay O’Brien called for the Credentials Committee report. When it was apparent the report wasn’t ready yet, he invited Governor Gilmore to come up and address the convention.

I stuck around for the second vote at the 10th convention. Gilmore still had not arrived by the time that had occured around 1:30pm. Bob Marshall put on an excellent speech.
