Whoa - Mark Warner ahead of Gilmore in VA by over 20 points

[EV_Ares]

'Former Virginia governor James S. Gilmore III, the state's Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, submitted false information on two financial disclosure forms that hid his ties to a government contractor embroiled in a legal dispute over allegations that two of its executives had conspired to defraud the federal government.'

The false information? Gilmore's forms said he was on the board at Windmill International based in Nashua, N.H., when in fact he was on the board at Windmill International based in Virginia, a totally different company that's 'at the center of an ongoing lawsuit' over allegations regarding fraudulent government contracts in Iraq.

Gilmore's people say it was a clerical error, and that he attended only one meeting of the Virginia company's board anyway.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL: Politico's Josh Kraushaar says Gilmore was already 'the laughingstock of this year's crop of GOP Senate recruits.' Gilmore trails MARK WARNER by more than 20 points in most polls, and he ended June with just $117,000 in his campaign account. Warner had $5.1 million.
