Former Virginia Gov. Gilmore enters White House race
Published July 30, 2015FoxNews.com

Former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore formally announced his bid for the White House Thursday, becoming the 17th Republican presidential primary candidate.

"I am a candidate for President because our current Washington leadership is guiding America on a path to decline, and I can reverse that decline," Gilmore said in a video message to supporters.

Gilmore filed paperwork earlier this week with the Federal Election Commission. His announcement comes one week before the first Republican primary debate, hosted by Fox News and Facebook.

Gilmore, a former Army intelligence officer, served as Virginia's governor from 1998 to 2002.

Gilmore joins a robust GOP presidential field that also includes former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, businessman Donald Trump and a dozen others.

Gilmore was a decent governor, overall good guy and smart but he has been out of the lime light for decades.
For the life of me I do not understand why he is doing this.

He's doing it for the same reason that others who know that don't have a chance ... money.

Or ego.  He probably looked at the rest and said "hey, why not?".
