Jim Gilmore, former governor of Virginia and Republican National
chairman, is quietly building an organization to get back into elective
politics -- perhaps as a candidate for president.
Gilmore might be looking to fill the mainstream conservative vacuum
created when fellow Virginian George Allen's defeat for re-election to
the Senate ended his presidential ambitions. Other options for Gilmore
could be running for the Senate in 2008 if Republican John Warner does
not seek another term at age 81, or running for governor in 2009.
The last Republican governor of Virginia, Gilmore also is the last
major Republican candidate to carry populous northern Virginia -- the
key to victory in the state. Open
