From The Washington Post, about the moderate Democrat and former governor of Virginia: "The ex-governor, a Democrat, weighed in on the race after Lt. Gov.
Bill Bolling announced Wednesday that he would not seek the Republican
nomination for governor in 2013. That effectively clears the way for
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II to claim the GOP ticket on next
year’s ballot. So far, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe
is the only candidate seeking the Democratic nomination. U.S. Sen. Mark
Warner (D) announced last week that he would seek another term as
governor."
The article continues about Mr. Wilder: "'Virginia is not a red or blue state,' Wilder said. 'It’s very
independent-minded. [The last election] wasn’t based on liberal or
conservative, right or left. It was based on who was best positioned to
move Virginia forward. I think you’re going to have that same dichotomy
coming forth.'"
