Bill Bolling eyeing independent run for Virginia governor

Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling is seriously considering an independent run for governor next year even if that results in his being kicked out of the Republican Party.

Bolling, who suspended — but did not end — his campaign for the Republican nomination after last month’s presidential election, told the John Fredericks Show on Friday that he is open to running a third-party bid for governor if “I thought I had a realistic chance of winning the governorship.”
