Bill Bolling refuses to back Ken Cuccinelli after exiting Virginia governor's race

Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling refused to endorse former rival Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli in the Virginia governor’s race Thursday and wouldn’t rule out running against Cuccinelli as a third-party independent.

“I’m a loyal soldier [for the Republican Party], but I’m going to do what I think is right for Virginia,” Bolling said. “I know that will make some people uneasy or unhappy, but at the end of the day, I’ve got to do what I think is right, and right now I’m not comfortable making an endorsement.”
