    "That some should be rich, shows that others may become rich, and, hence, is just encouragement to industry and enterprise."

    -- President Abraham Lincoln - 1864

    "The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy."

    -- U.S. Rep. Jack Kemp

Statement from PWC Chairman Corey Stewart on LG Bolling’s Decision

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Riley

This just in to Virtucon from PWC Chairman Corey Stewart:

I would like to commend Lt. Governor Bill Bolling on his tough decision to run for re-election rather than to run for Governor of Virginia. Both Bill Bolling and Bob McDonnell are excellent candidates and will do a wonderful job promoting Republican values. Having Bill Bolling and Bob McDonnell run as a ticket should help solidify our party.

I was excited about my own run for Lt. Governor and was fully prepared to do the work necessary to serve the public in that role. However, from the beginning of my exploration of this candidacy, I have said that if Bill Bolling decides to run for re-election rather than for governor, he will have my full support. Therefore, I choose to discontinue my exploratory campaign. Both these fine gentlemen have my full support and I will do everything within my power to help them to victory next November.

Thanks to all those who have indicated their support for my candidacy. I appreciate getting the chance to meet with so many great people in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I will continue to travel the state, raise money for Republican candidates, and work hard to support our team.

Now is the time for us to work together, promote Republican principles and rally behind all our candidates: Our 2008 presidential nominee, our candidates for the United States Senate and House of Representatives, and our winning team in Richmond. This is a great time for our party to lead the country with our solid conservative principles.

- Corey

This is not the end, only the beginning for Corey. It may not yet be his time in ‘09, but it will come.

    [...] Riley has the scoop on Chairman Corey Stewart bowing out of the race for Lieutenant Governor in the wake of Bill Bolling’s announcement that he would run for re-election.  This much-anticipated decision makes a lot of sense, and ensures that Stewart will be able to help with the full implementation of the Rule of Law Resolution.  With the success of that policy initiative, Corey Stewart’s political capital will only grow, putting him in good position to seek positions of greater responsibility and impact in Virginia in the future.
