The Virginia GOP has voted to hold a convention rather
than a primary to determine the GOP Senate candidate. A source
close to my Congressman Rep. Tom Davis a couple weeks back told me
that Davis would likely not make a run if the convention route was
chosen. I certainly hope this is the case since Davis' chances of
beating Democrat Mark Warner are not great and if he ran for Senate
his House seat in Blue-leaning Fairfax County would almost
certainly be lost to the Democrats. Former Governor Jim Gilmore is
expected to make a run but he is also a
long shot to beat Warner. Eric Cantor? Ed Gillespie?
