Gillespie projected to lose by 1% lost by 9% [View all]

Nicole Wallace had a segment today talking about Gillespie's prior races for office in VA and projected he would lose this one too by the same margins as before: 1-2%

She had another person on her panel who worked with Gillespie and both of them lamented the type of race Gillespie ran this time, how disgusting it was.

I'll watch tomorrow and see if she mentions they were only partially right. She'll be pleased.
