Analysis: How bad did Gilmore get thumped?
Let's take a break from the presidential race for a moment to look over at the Senate race -- what there was of it.
In Roanoke County -- as good a Republican county as there is -- Republican Jim Gilmore won only one precinct, and he won that one by just two votes. That was Bonsack, by the way -- Gilmore 232, Warner 230.
Warner beat Gilmore in every other precinct.
As for the presidential race in Roanoke County, McCain beat Obama in every precinct. The closest precincts were Garst Mill, where McCain edged Obama 609-586, and Hollins, where McCain edged the Democrat 445-414.
