VA-GOV: Bolling may run as Independent.

[RandySF]

When Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling announced today that he will abandon the contest for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, he said he had decided to “suspend” his campaign for governor. And he went on to say that he would be “a more independent voice” in the 2013 elections.

So could Bolling be an independent candidate for governor next year?

In an interview this afternoon, Bolling didn’t rule out the possibility.

“I don’t have any current intentions to run as an independent candidate for governor, but I learned a long time ago in politics that you shouldn’t ever say never,” Bolling said during a brief interview in his office in the Oliver Hill Building on Capitol Square.....

“Under normal circumstances, I would be open to the possibility of running for another term as lieutenant governor, but I would not be interested in running on a statewide ticket with Mr. Cuccinelli,” Bolling said.
