Only a month after announcing his interest in the 2008 Presidential race, Former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore announced he would form a presidential exploratory committee. Gilmore is only a 1 term governor and has previously served as RNC chairman. Gilmore has yet to be included in any GOP preference polls and early primary polls and only people in or around Virginia actually know who he is. The rest of the United States has not hears of his name. Gilmore might help switch voters in early primaries but shouldn't have too much affect on the campaign. Gilmore has used the past month to separate him form other candidates and show he is conservate but not as conservative as Mitt Romney and as Liberal as Rudy Giuliani. Because of this it makes us think he might be able to move up into the top 5 and could steal conservatives away from Giulinai and McCain and help Romney bring the tow down in polls making them in shooting distance if the nomination. Who knows what will happen, but we will continue to watch Gilmore in his presidential bid.
