McDonnell hits the campaign trail
By JR Hoeft | Thursday, October 28th, 2010 | Politics
Chris Christie might be getting some deserved attention right now for his superior leadership in New Jersey, but it’s Bob McDonnell and his 63% approval rating that has raised $2.5 million for GOP candidates nationwide.
Good read today in Politics Daily about McDonnell’s recent campaigning throughout the country, including in New Hampshire, with Republican Governors Association Chair Haley Barbour and possible speculation on what might be on the Virginia governor’s agenda for 2012.
Such talk is always good fun, such as McD running for President or VP, but my personal favorite is that he becomes chairman of the RGA, and then runs for president in 2016. What he does in 2014 to keep himself busy until the campaign for president heats up in 2015 is anyone’s guess, but he shouldn’t run for U.S. Senate – that’s the job for Virginia’s Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to take on U.S. Sen. Mark Warner in a battle for the ages.
At any rate, McDonnell finishes up his campaign swing here in Virginia with Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, Cuccinelli, and Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Pat Mullins in a series of stops all across the Commonwealth on Halloween and Monday:

The triumph of public relations over performance.
Mike,
You’re just bitter he didn’t give you post on a board or commission.
No bitterness at all. When the Beach asked me to continue to serve, I offered to do so. When the Governor indicated he preferred someone else, I withdrew my name. That is simply the way it works.
