Corey Stewart lets everyone know he’s interested in running for U.S. Senate
By JR Hoeft | Wednesday, February 9th, 2011 | PoliticsWith Jim Webb announcing he will not be seeking re-election, political observers are likely to see their email in-boxes fill-up with announcements of interest or intent in running for the most turned-over Senate seat in Virginia (Trible-Robb-Allen-Webb-???).
Corey Stewart, a Republican and head of Virginia’s Rule of Law campaign, while focused on the Prince William Chairman’s race, seems to have been nudged closer to making a decision on whether or not to challenge George Allen and Jamie Radtke for the GOP nod.
Stewart, reminded everyone he’s still interested in a release today by saying:
Senator Webb’s retirement represents a great opportunity for Republicans to regain the seat in the United States Senate. While traveling Virginia this past year, I have been urged by many in the grassroots base of the Republican party, and those patriots in the tea-party, to consider running for the United States Senate. As Chairman of the second largest county in Virginia, I have the type of profile that is needed to win in November of 2012. In order for a Republican to be elected statewide in Virginia, they must do well in Northern Virginia, and this is something that I have already demonstrated an ability to do.
It is likely Stewart will remain out of the Senate race until after the Prince William County election results.

Corey who???
Can you say AMATEUR?
When Corey was out gallivanting across the Commonwealth, did he run out of gas on 295? Because Corey sure hasn’t been south of Richmond meeting with grassroots, or visited the 2.2 million people in Hampton Roads.
Kinda makes you wonder whether he’s serious about running for PWC Chairman… I mean, how do you answer that question? “Are you running for a full term? Or just one year?”
