Ken cuccinelli would make an excellent opponent to Webb 2012 or tax hike Warner in 2014.

I am a Goper who lives in Illinois but i have a vacation home in Virginia which i go to as often as i can.

The dems have messed up your state badly under Mark Warner And Tim Kaine and their excessive taxation.

I think Bill Bolling is a good choice and should be elected Governor. He is a supporter of business interests.

Iwill hope the gop in va puts up Bill Bolling and he will beat the dems.

Please no more Warners And Kaines hiking taxes. And get the State Senate back.

I agree with Joe. I thank Bill for his service to the Commonwealth but he will need to step aside again and not seek the nomination in 2013. He has limited leadership abilities and was SIGNIFICANTLY out polled by Ken Cuccinelli on Nov 3rd. If it takes a primary fight to make it happen, then so be it.

The Democrats hope Republican party nominates Bill Bolling for Governor 2013. Bolling lacks leadership skills and will easily be defeated. In 2009 Bolling had 3 choices; lead follow or get out of the way and he chose to get out of the way and follow. Bill, thank you for your service, you’ve done enough.

I don’t see Corey running for the House. Same reason why Sean Connaughton didn’t run for Jeff Frederick’s seat this year.

I think Sean has his eye on Colgan’s seat. But Jeff Frederick just moved to Montclair and I believe that places him in Colgan’s district as well.

Why would Ken go from AG to LG? If party unity persists, I think he would be better served doing two terms as AG and then running for Gov. My prediction for the 2013 ticket — Bill Bolling for Gov. / Corey Stewart for LG / Ken Cuccinelli for AG.

The obvious choice for the GOP is Bill Bolling. However, that is a long time away in politic years and he maybe at a disadvantage after serving two terms as the Lt. Gov, and of course could also face an upstart in the GOP. However, if party unity can continue, then he should be the choice. That leaves Ken to run for Lt. Gov after serving as the AG. All safe choices at this point. but….

And since this is all speculation… Jackson Miller will run for the Senate Seat departed by Colgan, Stewart then runs to replace Jackson in the 50th, since it is GOP friendly and a good stepping stone.

now you are starting to scare me because at that time I’ll be the father of a 12 year old. Ugh! teen years.

All I know is Jim Riley had better be in elective office somewhere!

Politics schmolitics. I hope to retire from my day job and see which colleges will take me on as adjunct faculty.
