In today’s Washington Post, Staff Writer Tim Craig puts Delegate Rob Bell, who represents much of Albemarle County, at the top of the list of five Republicans who are possible candidates for Virginia Attorney General. According to the article, Bell has an early advantage because he has raised, as of December 31, $300,000—the second candidate on the list, Senator Ken Cuccinelli, has about $74,000 in his coffers. As for Bell’s fitness for the job, Craig writes, “The former prosecutor has a reputation for using his seat on the Courts of Justice Committee to push for laws to crack down on crime, but some activists say he goes too far in wanting to lock people up.”
 Though Rob Bell hasn’t announced he’s running for Virginia Attorney General, he has raised $300,000, more than any other potential candidate. |
