The Associated Press reports that Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling will announce this afternoon that he will seek reelection as lieutenant governor in 2009.
Bolling’s announcement will leave Attorney General Bob McDonnell an open field for the Republican nomination for governor. Former Gov. and Sen. George Allen announced earlier that he would take a pass on the race.
Two Democrats are seeking their party's gubernatorial nod: Sen. Creigh Deeds of Bath County and Del. Brian Moran of Alexandria.

Deeds announces run for governor
Creigh Deeds, the Democratic senator from Bath County who lost a tight race for Attorney General in 2005, announced this afternoon that he will run for governor in 2009, reports the Roanoke Times.
Del. Brian Moran of Alexandria also has voiced interest in heading the Democratic ticket.
Deeds potentially could have a rematch with Attorney General Bob McDonnell, who won that 2005 race by a margin of 360 votes. McDonnell has announced he will seek the GOP nod. Former Gov. and Sen. George Allen's name is in the mix on the Republican side, as is that of Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling.
