Ed Gillespie: ‘I Honestly Believe We’re Going To Win This Race Today’

EXCERPT:

GILLESPIE: "Well, you know, I appreciate the President’s support very much, Brian. And if you’re going to be governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, you better be able to work with the President of the United States and the Vice President and the Cabinet. Twenty cents of every dollar in our economy here in Virginia is a direct federal dollar, and I’ll be able to work with the President to make sure that Norfolk remains the largest naval base in the world. We’re building more ships and submarines in Newport News. We're dredging the channel in the Port of Virginia and getting more of our transportation dollars to spend in Virginia as we see fit. So being able to work with the President has always been important for a governor. My opponent has spent the entire campaign attacking the President in the most vicious personal terms and that's not going to help us if he wins, but, fortunately, that’s not going to be the case. I can tell you from the momentum and the intensity and the enthusiasm I have seen over the past two weeks in particular, Brian, I honestly believe we’re going to win this race today."
