Prediction: McDonnell for Vice-President<\/a><\/p>\nI agree with the thoughts that Bob McDonnell would make a good VP candidate in 2012. He’s got the charisma and his growing name recognition are going to push his national profile much higher. However, I disagree with his thoughts about Virginia’s state budget having continuous problems for the next few years. I believe that with the economy picking up, the state budget woes will slowly go away.<\/p>\n
But let’s look at the latter part of his article. I’ll agree that if Bolling assumes the Governor job, he locks in the nomination for the 2014 election. But it’s time for another Crazy Conspiracy theory. Cuccinelli could easily jump to the Lt. Governor slot on the ticket. and that would lead to an opening for the Republican Attorney General slot. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? A Southside VA candidate would be highly qualified for that slot, just sayin’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
