Will Gillespie run for make up seat in VA-10?

[Bidenworth2020]

not sure he could even win this as he lost it by 13. But who knows. Thoughts?

[Heisenberg]

He should run for Senate just so Corey Stewart doesn't get the nomination and sinks Congressmen Brat and Taylor.

why bother?

Considering how close Stewart came this year, I'm not even sure Gillespie would make it out of another primary against him.

After his loss tonight, no one is going to nominate him for anything ever again.  

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

He wants to suffer another embarrassing loss? Ed should just retire from politics, It's clear that the majority of Virginians don't want him to represent them in anyway.

If you have to trot out a retired lobbyist for every single statewide election just so the candidate isn't a neo-confederate crazy, your party has far deeper problems than you are willing to admit.

Barbara Comstock can do it instead.

Might as well go out with a bang. Honestly, she is by far your best candidate at this point, if you are lucky, maybe she can even hold the race within 5 points. Though in a Kaine vs Comstock matchup, I'd guess it to be around 52-46 for Kaine. In the most likely scenario, a Kaine vs Stewart matchup, I'd guess it to be around 56-40.

I think Tom Davis or Bill Bolling could do as good a job against Kaine/Stewart without risking Comstock’s House seat.

Bolling didn't even think he could beat Cuccinelli. Gillespie had a lot more establishment backing than Bolling and barely managed to defeat Stewart.

Davis is old news beyond old news. Might as well trot George Allen out again.

If they want a minority Republican, Danny Vargas or E. W. Jackson would work. I don’t really understand your objection to Davis, though. Dan Coats was an “oldie” out of office for a while, and he won a Senate seat.

E.W. Jackson? Didn't he do really poorly because he was viewed as too extreme? Ron Villanueva (recently defeated in his HoD race) is another minority Republican in VA that comes to mind.

What is this nonsense about suggesting Comstock has any chance in hell at reelection. Get it through your head now: Comstock's is goin' down, and is probably the frontrunner for "Congressperson most likely to lose by the largest margin".

Any effort Republicans expend trying to save her seat is wasted effort that could have gone into salvaging Taylor's CD-02 seat.

The only person in her district who would almost certainly force her out would probably be Chap Petersen, and he doesn’t seem interested.

The answer is no. Also, Comstock wouldn't win a U.S. Senate race even as a true moderate. She is not one, btw, and is a country club Republican former lobbyist just like Ed. I've met her a few times years ago but each time she came across as tired and not that warm. She is the ultimate generic GOP but boring candidate. The GOP probably will get her to run as the " moderating woman candidate" if she retires or doesn't lose so she can run down the line.

Dumber and more corrupt and DC insider version of Jill Vogel.
