Bob McDonnell, De facto Republican Nominee for Governor

Bob McDonnell is the Republican nominee by default because none of his potential opponents were able to meet the November deadline for filing. As a result, he will be able to skip the usual primary campaign season and get down to the essential work of gathering campaign cash for the general election next November. He will face one of several Democratic potentials in what may prove to be a hotly contested primary.

McDonnell this week received the endorsement of Bobby Jindal(Gov. of Louisiana), one of the Republican Party’s rising stars and a potential candidate in the next couple of presidential cycles (he already has more experience then Obama)

McDonnell recently released an updated campaign website. At the moment, its a bit thin on policy/issues.  I would like to see the campaign issue white papers at some point in the near future.
