SECOND VERSE, SAME AS THE FIRST. The New York Times reports today that Republican former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore plans to form a presidential exploratory committee to look into a possible '08 bid. Close readers of the Prospect will recall that Gilmore, like former Va. Gov. George Allen before him, served on the board of directors of troubled high-tech firm Xybernaut. That involvement became an issue for Allen late in his campaign, and will doubtless be one for Gilmore, as well.
