The R-TD endorses Gilmore at arm’s length.

I love the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s endorsement of Jim Gilmore for U.S. Senate. With an endorsement like that, who needs opponents?

  1. The RT-D ignored its own list of good reasons to endorse Mark Warner for senator, so it could look backwards and endorse Jim Gilmore — an awkward politician, known mostly for his stubbornness, who is probably going to lose by over 30 points.

    This would have been such an easy race for the RT-D’s editorial staff to unveil a fresh willingness to admit that sometimes — maybe in tough times — genuine talent has to trump staying true to an ideological school.

    Watching the Republican blame-fest after Warner’s landslide win will be entertaining and perhaps edifying.
