NRO looks at Bill Bolling's chances with an independent bid for governor.
Earlier 
this week, Bolling stoked the chatter when he fired off an email to his 
donors and political allies, asking for their advice regarding a gubernatorial 
run. “I know it won’t be easy to win the governorship as an independent 
candidate, but with your help I believe it can be done,” he wrote.
But not all of Bolling’s allies are buying it. They say that money, more than 
anything else, will be the factor that keeps him out of the race. Unaffiliated 
Virginia Republicans agree, arguing that Bolling would need to raise millions 
fast. Running a credible independent campaign would take at least $15 million, 
and the lieutenant governor has less than $800,000 on hand. He also has little 
to no campaign apparatus.
Show me the money. And there's not much time to get the money before March 14.
