Elephant Ears

This blog is dedicated to the political happenings in the Valley and Southwest Virginia. As the the name implies, this blog will have posts based on what is heard by this elephant's (GOPer's) ears. It is also a great treat to get while at the county fair or a carnival.

Funny Wikipedia article

For some reason I decided to look at the Wikipedia article of Jim Gilmore since NGB at NLS says Gilmore is making a play for 2009 with his new PAC. Anyway, the first interesting thing about this article is that in explaining his "No Car Tax" plan as governor, they cite the "swelling" Virginia budget 3 times.
Also, at the end they say:
"It is rumored that Gilmore will be running to return to the office of governor in 2009 when incumbent Gov. Tim Kaine (D) steps down. It is also rumored he may instead run for U.S. Senate in 2008 should veteran Republican Sen. John Warner retire."

So who wrote this and submitted it to wikipedia anyway?

    GOPHokie-

    That site gets hacked all the time- most of the time with negative or wrong information, but as you've found here, sometimes with the candidates own propaganda.

    Wikipedia is good, and should only get better. This is one flaw they must overcome.
