Why I just “unliked” Bill Bolling on Facebook

I don’t like this one little bit.

I haven’t made a decision or an endorsement for next year’s race for Governor. Up until Ken Cuccinelli announced I was more than prepared to support Bill Bolling. I may still be.

But I have been increasingly put off by this whole convention vs. primary fight. I know the State Central Committee is voting tomorrow. I’m neither a member of the committee or someone with the ability to influence the outcome.

Theory is that a primary helps Bill Bolling and that a convention helps Ken Cuccinelli. That may be correct.

But you see, this image is not correct. I have in the past liked Bill Bolling’s page on Facebook. I’ve liked Ken Cuccinelli as well.

To use that to imply that I prefer a primary over a convention when I haven’t said (publicly) either way?

That may be unforgiveable.

I agree with Riley at Virginia Virtucon: This is the most disingenuous ad and Facebook page I’ve seen any candidate use.

And I just told the young gentleman who called to ask my preference for 2013 (he admitted being hired by the Bolling campaign) that I’m not giving an answer.

June 13, 1967
President Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Solicitor-General Thurgood Marshall to become the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. Marshall was the court’s 96th justice. Marshall was known for his success as an attorney in the Brown vs. Board of Education case.

Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men’s minds.
