That's a good point. The GOP sent Jim Gilmore to run against Mark Warner because he called in chips on the primary process. While the entire state got to vote on Mark Warner in the primary, Gilmore constructed a scheme where he was chosen by committee.
The guy was not the popular choice. His record as governor was absolutely horrible. Plus, Mark Warner is a demi-god in VA. The only way he could be challeneged would have been if Macaca ran against him.
Send up some more softballs, GOP, we'll be happy to hit them with our Louisville sluggers.
