BIG 2017 NEWS!! Attorney General Mark Herring has announced that he will not be running for Governor in 2017, as was widely expected, but instead that he will seek re-election and will back Lieutenant Governor Ralph Northam for Governor. This averts a potentially bruising primary fight between the two over the top job, and positions Democrats to head into the 2017 with a strong, united front.
I said this was big news, but it ain’t good news. Herring’s announcement is here. (H/T: Terrence Boulden).
