Currently in Virginia, former governor and candidate for Senator, Jim Gilmore, is still 30 points behind Mark Warner in polls. What's shocking, and almost pathetic, is that Warner has had this lead since October of 2007. This time last year! Can you believe it? Warner is receiving most of this support from independents (70 % of them)who want to make a difference and believe that difference will be made through Warner. Gilmore is receiving his minimal support from 58% of conservatives and 56% from white evangelical christians. Most voters in this election are focusing on how they feel the candidate have done as both being former governors of Virginia. Many like Warner for the fact that he cut spending on his own programs as governor, but many laso like Gilmore because he elminated the personal property tax on VA cities and counties put on vehicules. Because this article was from the Washington Post, it was awesome to read an article that was FINALLY not biased. Woohoo! I hope it continues but I doubt it. Still, if Mark Warner is elected senator, it will be the first time 48 years that Virginia will be represented by two Democratic senators. So not only will we most likely be making history with an African American president for the country, Virginia will most like become a democratic state from now on. Whoa!
