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?
