Hotline on Call reported this morning that former Virginia Governor James Gilmore formally announced the creation of a presidential exploratory commitee after filing the necessary paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).

I intend to move quickly to form a national campaign team and to make my decision on moving to a formal candidacy,” Gilmore said.
