Gov. Jim Gilmore is the Republican nominee for Senate and he will beat Mark Warner this November.

Do not listen to the naysayers even within the Party. If every Republican who is throwing up their hands and throwing in the towel now instead took the time to visit Gilmore’s site and sign up to be a volunteer then Mark Warner’s coranation would be anything but. If every Bob Marshall supporter could fire themselves up for the nominee and bring the same enthusiasm to November as they brought to the convention, you’d have another David on your hands.

We can not afford to sit idly by and simply allow Mark Warner to win this November. There should not be a single Bob Marshall supporter who can sit there with a straight face and say Mark Warner speaks closer to their values than Jim Gilmore.

Just as I would be asking Gilmore supporters to help Bob Marshall had yesterday’s results gone the other way, tonight I am asking Marshall supporters and all members of the Republican Party of Virginia to please stand up and be counted. Do not just stay home and let Mark Warner ensure a Democratic majority in the Senate for the foreseeable future. Don’t count on trying to beat him next time, we must beat him this time!

Now is not the time to quit, it is the time to keep fighting and ensuring there is one less pawn for a Democratic agenda that harms Virginians and Americans.

Folks, Jim Gilmore is our nominee and with our help he will be the next Senator from Virginia.
