Cuccinelli: Decision Time Monday
We interrupt this previously scheduled vacation for Chris to report that Senator Ken Cuccinelli will announce his decision regarding 2009:
Fairfax, Virginia, March 28, 2008 – Virginia State Senator Ken Cuccinelli (R-37th) today scheduled a press conference for Monday, March 31st at 12:30 pm. The press conference will occur in front of the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway; Fairfax, Virginia 22035.
Cuccinelli will address his intentions regarding the 2009 race for the Republican nomination for Virginia Attorney General: “Having had some time at home after the General Assembly session, my wife and I have made some decisions about this race that are now final enough to share.”
Cuccinelli, a partner in the law firm of Cuccinelli & Day, PLLC, was first elected to the Senate of Virginia in a 2002 special election. He serves on the Senate Courts of Justice Committee and has worked closely with the Attorney General’s office on key public safety and public interest legislation.
I would say its about 90% that Cuccinelli will jump in. It makes sense for his career to move forward, and it makes sense for the ticket. Then again, I was 100% sure that Bill Bolling would be running for governor. But the last paragraph of the announcement makes me think he's in. It emphasizes his legal background in government and the private sector, as well as a close relationship with Bob McDonnell.
I would be quite shocked if Cuccinelli didn't run.
