WHO?? Jim Gilmore ends campaign for president

Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore announced on Friday that he is suspending his campaign for president.

"My campaign was intended to offer the gubernatorial experience with the track record of a true conservative, experienced in national security, to unite the party." Gilmore said in a statement sent to the Washington Examiner. "My goal was to focus on the importance of this election as a real turning point, and to emphasize the dangers of continuing on a road that will further undermine America's economy and weaken our national security."

"Nonetheless, I will continue to express my concerns about the dangers of electing someone who has pledged to continue Obama's disastrous policies," Gilmore said. "And, I will continue to do everything I can to ensure that our next president is a free-enterprise Republican who will restore our nation to greatness and keep our citizens safe."

He suspended his campaign after falling victim to what the polls had said all along: Gilmore just couldn't gain traction with voters.
