RPV convention

[This is a heads up about the Virginia Republican Convention happening this weekend in Richmond, VA; we also expect to have some original reporting after the conference from people on the scene - Jon Henke]

So the wrangling and nastiness (should) end this weekend for Virginia Republicans as they hold their convention this weekend in Richmond.

They will choose a Senate nominee, who will begin his race as the most under of underdogs. Gilmore seems likely to get the nod. A cold comfort, really, considering the cast-in-stone narrative is that even George Washington would lose to Mark Warner.

But stranger things have happened...just ask George Allen.
