Republican lieutenant governor Bill Bolling of Virginia will not run as an independent for governor. ABC’s Rick Klein reports:
Bill Bolling not running for VA gov: “I wish Mr. McAuliffe and Mr. Cuccinelli well as they begin their campaigns…”

Bolling was said to be considering an independent run after Republican attorney general Ken Cuccinelli announced he would run governor, after which Bolling exited the Republican primary. A Bolling candidacy would have shaken up the 2013 governor’s race in Virginia, which will now likely be a match-up between Cuccinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe.
