Jim Gilmore Drops Out Of The Race Forever
July 16, 2007
Just as we predicted... former Virginia Governor Jim Gilmore announced he has dropped out of the Presidential race. He released an official statement of resignation on Saturday, July 14th... 11 days after VoteForBreakfast.com ran the story "Jim Gilmore Drops Out Of The Race (For Now)". In his statement, Gilmore pointed to his frustration with the Presidential nomination process as a contributing factor for his departure, saying "I have come to believe that it takes more than a positive vision for our nation’s future to successfully compete for the Presidency."
The statement made no reference to the fact Gilmore's latest financial disclosure report showed him with only $90,000 in cash on hand... enough money to buy 150 iPhones or 72 haircuts for John Edwards*.
A desire to spend more time with his family may have also played a role in his decision. That was the excuse he used in 2001 when he resigned as the chair of the Republican National Committee.
His statement went on to read, "I will be actively looking for other opportunities to continue in public service in the Commonwealth of Virginia."
While he didn't specify a precise sector of public service, the following government jobs are currently available at Jobs.Virginia.Gov:
During his 6-month bid to be President, Jim Gilmore never once mentioned the importance of breakfast.

* Candidate John Edwards paid Hairstylist Joseph Torrenueva $1,200 for a single haircut in 2004.
Presidential Candidate Mr Breakfast will continue to point out the foibles and goofs of all the candidates (regardless of party) until they reveal a position on the importance of breakfast.
