Virginia’s Tea Party True Believer Aims Higher
Republican sources say Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia ut61e s crusading attorney general, is highly likely to announce a run for governor in 2013, as the Richmond Times-Dispatch and Washington Post report. A bid could set up an interesting contested Republican primary against the state s lieutenant governor, Bill Bolling, who is expected to run to replace the state s popular Republican Governor, Bob McDonnell.
The reports aren t a surprise. In the commonwealth, where the chief executive can t serve consecutive terms, the AG s perch is a way station to the governor s mansion, and Cuccinelli s high profile and strong conservative support have spurred frequent rumors that he s angling for a higher office run. Much of the speculation, however, has centered around a challenge to Democratic Senator Mark Warner in 2014. Cuccinelli told the Postin August that he was considering a Senate run.
As I wrote in a profilelast year, Cuccinelli is a true believer a Tea Party hero and conservative culture warrior who leveraged his role obd2 scanner at the nexus of law and politics to take the lead in the legal/political fight against the Obama health-care law s individual mandate. He is smart and aggressive, which is one of the reasons why Democrats consider him dangerous. And despite staking out divisive positions on hot-button social issues, Cuccinelli registers reasonably well with moderates. In an August survey conducted by the Democratic firm Public Policy Polling, Cuccinelli bested Bolling in a hypothetical matchup, 45% to 21% in part because he s far better known. A hard-fought GOP primary would be a race to watch closely.
