The GOP-e was very pissed because Virginia chose to pick its nominee through convention rather than primary. The GOP-e wanted Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling, a very moderate Republican, as the nominee. Bolling decided not to run when a convention was chosen because he and the GOP-e knew the real conservatives who would be delegates at the convention would never nominate Bolling. The GOP-e knew that Bolling had a pretty good chance in an open primary. So like Cuccinelli or not, there simply is no argument that he is the GOP-e candidate.

(A country that would elect Barack Obama president twice is no longer worth fighting for.)

If he is a strong candidate, then why is there concern about a 3rd party spoiler?
