I have to tell you, I've not paid much attention to the career of Delegate Bob Marshall, or to his run for the office of governor of our fair state. There's no way in heck he's going to beat Jim Gilmore for the Republican nomination, so why bother. But I was reading Carl Kilo's weblog post on Marshall receiving the endorsement of the Sierra Club yesterday and now the man has my attention. We...

Rasmussen is out and it shows Mark Warner with a strong lead -- 18 points -- over Jim Gilmore. According to Rasmussen: ...this is the fifth consecutive survey to find Warner leading Gilmore by a 15-20 percentage point margin. In all five surveys, Warner's support has ranged from 53% to 57%. Gilmore's support has also been consistent, ranging from 37% to 39%. Sounds great, except...

... for the party every since. He's got those votes - unless Macaca hits. Warner also knows that Gilmore doesn't have the GOP base locked down - as evidenced by Marshall's run. Gilmore feuded bitterly with many Republican leaders in the General Assembly, especially over his signature issue - repealing the car tax. The animosity was so bad that when former Senate Finance Chairman John...

I’ve struggled for quite a while whether I should take a stand in the GOP contest for the U.S. Senate nomination. I have supported both Jim Gilmore and Bob Marshall in the past for various offices and like and respect both men. Furthermore, I am unable to attend the GOP convention at the end of [...]

Spank That Donkey has the scoop. The record shows "Marshall Was For Unelected Taxing Bodies, Before He was Against Them?" Take time to read the facts about his record and his vote on HB 1474 Regional Economic Development Authority in 2000 and how Jim Gilmore vetoed the bill. Marshall's ties to the Sierra Club kills his chances in the Coalfields. Via a comment on STD, we also see Marshall

In an email from Jim Gilmore – It is very important this year that we work together to elect a Republican to succeed John Warner in the U. S. Senate. The Democrats are trying to elect 60 Senators so they will have a filibuster proof Senate that can increase our taxes, grow the size of government [...]

Remember Del. Bob Marshall? He's the guy running against former Governor Jim Gilmore for the Republican nomination for Senate candidate later this month. He's also the guy who told me on the phone that one of the biggest reasons I should vote for him at the Republican Convention is that he's the guy who filed the lawsuit to overturn the Regional Taxing Authorities recently set up by the General...

... Marshall could be trusted to stop new taxes in their tracks! Well, let us confirm that is Governor Jim Gilmore who used the power of the veto to stop Del. Bob Marshall from creating one of those unelected bodies and give them the authority to tax our citzenry . It seems: HB 1474 Regional Economic Development Authority.

Del. Bob Marshall , R-Prince William, made his best conservative pitch to the York County Republican Women's Club on Monday night. Marshall touted his abortion and 2nd Amendment credentials and made specific attacks on both his opponents in the race. Who knows Marshall may have even won over some folks for his U.S. Senate bid against former Gov. Jim Gilmore . But it was a back-and-forth near...

Like we said before, if Warner's in public he'll probably have a small video camera pointing at him at all times, waiting for the slightest slip.
