Because former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore just announced he’s in too.
If you’re like, ‘Jim who’? That’s OK. It was my reaction and I’m from Virginia.
Gilmore is unknown to most Americans and a recent filing to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) showed that he has just $90,000 in his campaign account — well behind the totals reported by other Republicans. Gilmore said today that the presidential campaign is a “very long race” and that he will reach voters and increase his name recognition through the Internet. Gilmore’s speech was broadcast live over his campaign Web site. (NYT/CQ)
Love that his campaign is trying to spin his virtual announcement as a sign that he’s web savvy. And not, you know, the guy who couldn’t get reporters to come to his press conference.
Seriously, how many people are running for president? I’ve lost count.
