EXCLUSIVE: Virginia Fraternal Order of Police to Endorse McDonnell, Bolling, Cuccinelli on Thu.

Posted on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 by Riley

A media advisory has gone out saying that a “major Virginia organization” is going to be endorsing Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli tomorrow.

WHEN: Thursday, September 24th at 9AM

WHERE: House Briefing Room in the General Assembly Building in Richmond

Virtucon has heard via a leak (note: not from any of these campaigns) that this will be the Fraternal Order of Police, but has yet to confirm it formally. Coming on the heels of today’s Fairfax Chamber of Commerce endorsement of McDonnell, I’d hazard to say that the old winning coalition assembled by Govs. George Allen and Jim Gilmore is coming back together for the GOP. As I said yesterday, Republicans win when they stand for something, not simply against someone.

UPDATE: VV’s Lighthorse has independently confirmed that it will be the FOP.

UPDATE 2: While the Dems will no doubt try to portray the FOP as a Republican organization, they seemed to be pretty proud of the FOP’s endorsement of Marky Mark for Senate last year.

Actually, the FOP endorsed Beyer in 1997; it was Beyer’s only good week in the entire campaign.
