Come join our party, not just anyone will do (Part 13)...

Well whadda know, ain't this a surprise?  I missed another one: former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore has announced he's running for the Republican nomination for president.  If you missed it, don't worry, you're not the only one.  With the media all in a frenzy salivating over what inanity is gonna vomit forth from The Donald's gob, you probably misses this, cause it was little more than a footnote.  And actually, that's all his campaign will be.  If he even makes it to the third primary in South Carolina, I'll be surprised.  But anyway, here we go:
