Honestly I’m not surprised that both are wealthy. Although I’ll admit I had no idea Gilmore was worth that much.

Which begs the question as to why he didn’t sink more into his campaign. As well as why he felt the need to repay that $50,000 loan to himself.

And, silence is right. There will be one person surprised about the outcome of this race on November 4.

I got your point, Vivian. It's the Pilot's point I don't get. JTB -- That's called "diversification."

Having reviewed the financial disclosures of both men in previous races, it surprised many of us that neither side, nor the Press reported, or made an issue of just how little of each of these “Virginians” had invested in their home turf. While Warner tried to create some cover for this issue by buying municipal bonds prior to his last race, both men, while talking about creating opportunities here, have parked much of their personal wealth in multinationals and offshore.

Yes, silence, they are both financially successful. Which was my point, Mouse.

I think by any standards they’re both incredibly successful men (financially speaking). I do confess that in spite of this, I feel kind of badly for how badly Jim Gilmore is going to get schooled; everything he’s said indicates that it really is going to take him by surprise, and I don’t know how he’s going to deal with the shock.

So, Warner has been more successful, so we should vote for Gilmore?

Am I missing something?
