VA Senate Race: Del. Bob Marshall to Challenge Gilmore for GOP Nomination

[Smash255]

How soon before Tom Davis wishes that he chose retirement instead of running for his house seat again when he decided against the Senate run??  Whatever the match up on the Presidential level would be a big win for the Dems in Northern VA, with a decent chance it will be Obama vs Huckabee and that would be an outright slaughter.  Warner will demolish either Gilmore or Marshall state wide and out right pummel the hell out of them in Northern VA>  A demolishing like that at the top slots of the ticket can't be good for Davis.

I'm unfamiliar with Marshall, although it makes little difference.  It doesn't matter who the GOP nominates, anyone short of John Warner will lose in the GE to Mark Warner, pure and simple.

Bob Marshall is a culture warrior whose greatest hits include his assertion that women who use contraception are "chemical love canals for frat house playboys".

I can picture that going over well in Northern VA.....
