Virginia attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli will run for governor in 2013. Cuccinelli’s candidacy creates a clash with Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling for the party’s nomination in two years. Cuccinelli was among the first state attorneys general to file federal lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of President Barack Obama’s health care reform law in 2010.
