Virginia GOP Already Has '09 Gov Nominee

[brooklynite]

from Politics1.com:

VIRGINIA. Attorney General Bob McDonnell became the 2009 GOP nominee for Governor on Friday. That was the state party's deadline to file paperwork to seek the nomination at next year's convention. Nobody filed to oppose McDonnell. Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling (R) is unopposed for renomination. Three Republicans filed for McDonnell's open AG spot. The Dem deadline to run is not until next year. Incumbent Governor Tim Kaine (D) is term-limited. Former Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe, State Senator Creigh Deeds and State House Democratic Caucus Chair Brian Moran are all actively seeking the Dem gubernatorial nomination.

I suppose the Virigina "no two consecutive terms" rule keeps things shaken up, but its a pity Tim Kaine has to leave; with two new Democratic Senators, there's no convenient place for him to go.
