Va. (AP) -- If Virginia's ultra-conservative attorney general
needs to appeal to moderate Republicans in his campaign for
governor, his new book probably isn't going to help.  "The Last
Line of Defense" targets what Ken Cuccinelli contends is federal
government overreach. It claims politicians use programs like
Social Security and Medicare to trap people in a cycle of
government dependency and boost their own power. It labels the
Obama administration the biggest set of lawbreakers in America.
Those are points sure to resonate with his conservative base --
and provide fodder for Democrats to use against him in the
governor's race.  Cuccinelli tells The Associated Press that
he's not worried about that. He says there's nothing in the book
that's inconsistent with his record in public office.  The book
will be released Tuesday.
