Hardly out the door of his office as Western Virginia’s federal prosecutor, John Brownlee is now officially in the race for Virginia attorney general. The Roanoke Times says Brownlee is styling himself “Virginia’s conservative prosecutor.” He faces patent lawyer and Virginia Senator Ken Cuccinelli in his bid for the Republican nomination.

Cuccinelli tells us, “Mr. Brownlee strikes me as a gentleman who will give us a good run.” Nevertheless, Cuccinelli points to the endorsements he has received to date, saying, “We are well on our way to the nomination.”
