Gilmore No Longer A Candidate, Considering Run for State Office

Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore has quit his campaign for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination and is now considering running for either US Senate in '08 or running for another term as governor in 2009.

Gilmore told the Politico that "Because of the front-loading of the primaries, I would have basically had to stop campaigning and spend full time organizing hundreds of people to raise money for me."
