Here's what was shared in a Politico article about Gillespie's campaign per his Senate campaign digital director. It illustrates that Gillespie did in fact run a strong ground game and had good fundraising.
Gillespie digital director Eric Wilson said the mainstream media was not paying attention as Gillespie attracted huge crowds for rallies, grew social media followers and built an impressive ground game.
“There were a series of indicators that were ignored,” he said.
The Gillespie team believes that the race closed late because of their early decision to husband resources.
During the summer, there was extensive back-and-forth among Gillespie’s top advisers about when to spend their money. Gillespie, a first-time candidate, was formerly chair of the Republican National Committee and has a huge fundraising network. But he always knew he’d be significantly outspent by Warner, a formidable fundraiser in his own right who happens to be the richest member of the Senate because he co-founded Nextel.
