Gillespie 2014: Because Atwater Is Dead And Rove Is Busy

1GILL

Thus far, Ed Gillespie has not been able to distance himself far enough from his remarkable physical, moral and ideological resemblance to a Rodent of Unusual Size to run for public office, but by gum the kid's gonna take a his shot anyway while he still has the hair for it!

From the Washington D.C. Penny Saver (Motto: "Look for our double-value Fox News advertorial coupons inside!"):
Ed Gillespie to announce Senate bid
By MIKE ALLEN and JAMES HOHMANN | 1/16/14 9:01 AM EST

Ed Gillespie, a former Republican National Committee chairman and counselor to President George W. Bush, plans to announce Thursday that he’ll challenge Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) in November, an adviser told POLITICO.

Gillespie, a decided underdog, has concluded the race is “winnable,” the adviser said.

Three of Gillespie’s frequent themes will be: growing the middle class, fostering upward mobility and helping people lift themselves out of poverty. Gillespie’s first task will be winning the Republican nomination at a convention in Roanoke in June. That’s an insider’s game where his longtime party involvement should pay off. After serving as national party chairman, he led the Virginia GOP.
...
Translation:  "Please-please-pretty-please have me back on 'Meet the Press'!"

No word on whether Mike Allen charged Gillespie by the word for his advertorial, or he gets some kind of package deal.

**helping people lift themselves out of poverty. **

In other words not help people?

Chris Hayes (via Digby) takes a great big dump all over both sides. I'll be waiting for Hayes to be given the treatment DG usually reserves for the likes of Peggy Noonan:
