And then said nice things about McCauliffe, claiming he’d be a fine governor, and refusing to support the republican ticket except for his good friend running for Lt. Governor.
Some suggest he also discouraged big-name donors from contributing.
And he claimed he was run out of the race, when he never even competed, dropping out before the convention but not returning the money he collected from supporters.
After which, he ran around talking about how “free” he felt now that he could be an “independent voice”. Which was odd, because he had never expressed a difficulty with agreeing with the conservative position in all the years he served, and his voting record was pretty good.
A lot of people were really mad at him when he turned his back on the party when we needed him to help pull moderates over to vote for Ken. And so people are going to say mean things about him, not because there is a problem with the party, but because he was a backstabbing weasel in the last election.
And I say this as a person who supported Bill Bolling for many years, and having met the man personally. Sadly, he now seems to be an example of what happens when you get so entrenched in the system that you start thinking about maintaining the system rather than doing good.
Where I said “good friend for Lt. Governor”, I meant “good friend for Attorney General”. Wish we had an edit function sometimes.
