Time is winding down on this. Bolling is supposed to make a decision later this week.
Here is the comment I just submitted to his web page.

Lt. Governor Bolling,
It is no easy thing to write to tell you that no, I most definitely do NOT support your independent run for Governor of Virginia.
I would go so far as to say that if you insist on running as an independent candidate, you might as well save yourself and thousands of Virginia citizens a LOT of time and money by just endorsing McAuliffe for Governor. I am certain that the outcome would be the same.
I certainly understand your disappointment with Mr. Cuccinelli and his decision to "jump in line" to run for Governor. Here is the simple fact which you will certainly not enjoy hearing, but that I write from my heart: You are not qualified to be a Republican Governor of Virginia.
Lt. Governor, you lost all credibility with me and with THOUSANDS of Virginians during the General Assembly session of 2010. The Democrats were in control of the Senate, and they created a last-minute "Special" subcommittee under the Courts of Justice Committee with the sole purpose to kill a couple dozen good bills that they did not like, but that they knew would pass if they were brought to the floor of the Senate. (They knew this was true, as several of the bills killed that year have passed in subsequent years and become law.) You, as President of the Senate, allowed them to violate the Senate's OWN Rules which CLEARLY do NOT allow subcommittees to kill bills. Your inaction was a clear statement to the Republicans of Virginia that you were not up to the job, and very sadly, I have no reason to believe that you will be up to the job as Governor any more than you were as Lt. Governor.
Please do not commit this ultimate betrayal of the Republicans of Virginia. If you run, you will lose, and you will take Cuccinelli with you, and a McAuliffe administration will set our state back in ways we cannot begin to imagine. I beg you to consider Virginia first.
