I think the Monday press conference is getting too low key a build up. I think he is going to say he is not running for AG.

I say Cuccinelli runs for AG and then Governor in 2013

I should clarify, I am a big Bolling fan and no slight was intended.
Bolling would be an excellent candidate to go against Webb!!! Unlike the M. Warner situation we are facing right now, there will be no shortage of qualified candidates ready and willing to take on Webb. I just don’t like getting into the habit of coronating our candidates for governor or any statewide office for that matter without any party competition. I think a sense of leadership entitlement in creaping into our great party on several fronts over the past few cycles for governor.

mytwocents — Heck, Bolling may even opt to run against Webb for the U.S. Senate in 2012 leaving open the gov. race in 2013.

Well, he doesn’t have name ID compared to either Cuccinelli or Obenshain. I would say most have never grassroots committee folks have never heard of him and I know very little about him. Does that make him a bad candidate? No, it just gives him that much more work. Someone like Obenshain has very large ID like Cuccinelli, because he is a leader among the conservatives in the state senate fighting liberal Republicans and well his father was a legend, that helps. If Cuccinelli drops, its Obenshains easily if he wants it. BTW, I think Cuccinelli will run. I don’t believe at all that Bolling will be entitled to the nomination for governor just because he is sitting out this year.

How can you say Harris doesn’t have name recognition.? He has been one of the most popular guys in the GOP for a number of years, and, unlike Cucc, he hasn’t voted for any tax inceases. BTW, the US Attorney is John Brownlee.

I think if Cuccinelli does not run ,Sen. Obenshain will be the ideological choice for those who currently support Cuccinelli. In a convention setting, he would be difficult to impossible to beat, should he decide to run.

A few others who are interested have zero name ID like Paul Harris and a U.S. states attorney, I can’t think of this name. Somone has been on the blogs pushing him. Steve Baril I guess could decide to run again as well.
