Frankly, I don't see how its working on any line.
Try...
a {font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #cccccc}
a:hover{font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #cccccc}
Or, if you must...
a.bold {font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #cccccc}
a:hover.bold{font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #cccccc}
Also, links will be underlined unless you specify otherwise, such as...
a {text-decoration: none}
a:hover {text-decoration: underline}
