Ken Cuccinelli for Attorney General?

State Sen. Ken Cuccinelli II of Fairfax County still has to survive a recount of his 92-vote victory over Democrat Janet Oleszek, but he may already be turning his attention to his next possible campaign.

At this weekend's Virginia Republican Party Advance in Crystal City, there was plenty of talk that Cuccinelli may run for attorney general in 2009.

"People have raised it with me, but I haven't done anything about it, except telling my wife people have raised it with me," Cuccinelli said in an interview. "But there is a certain amount of logic for a conservative from Northern Virginia running."

But Cuccinelli added his first task is the recount later this month. "I got to win this race first," he said.
