Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) will endorse Arizona Sen. John McCain in his GOP primary battle with former congressman J.D. Hayworth, advisers to the governor say.
McCain asked McDonnell for his backing after having campaigned for the Virginian last year. The 2008 presidential nominee, who is being portrayed by some critics as too moderate, undoubtedly hopes McDonnell can help him in conservative circles.

Thanks for this ping. This deserves a call. Is their some kind of kool aid they serve after they get into office that turns them into bots. This is ridiculous.
Argh. Don’t send me requests for donations, RNC!! Argh.
Of course. It’s a political quid pro quo.
There’s a sick theory why they are doing this:
Rush apparently heard it on the grape vine that the chiefs think McCain would be a trouble maker if he loses. So they need to appear to be on McCain’s side to keep the guy from lashing out at them.
Not good enough so far as I’m concerned. I was a little ticked at Sarah Palin, but she has an excuse. McRomney and McDonnell don’t.
Seems to be the latter, especially from those residing in the Ol' Dominion.
Aside: Limbaugh will probably censure McDonnell for this, as he should be. Yet why he, Limbaugh, is determined to give Palin a pass is unfathomable. The excuses for her are not logical. When she ran as McCain's Veep nominee he was running against Obama. So yeah, in that scenario he was 'good enough to be President'.
McCain is currently running against a conservative, Hayworth, so no, in this race he, McCain, is not 'good enough'.
And since when does Rush worry about who the press will vilify?! Sorry, El Rushbo, if you speak out against others endorsing McCain you cannot then turn around and make excuses for Palin, or anyone else, for doing the same thing.
ROFL!
That is truly a shame.
Excellent point.
I don’t take the opinion of the governors of Arizona and Illinois into account when I vote for senatorial candidates here in Virginia and I certainly would not expect voters in those states to base their decisions on my governor’s endorsment.
Is there a way to quickly contact him if one is not a member of Facebook?
My “tin-foil hat-wearing” side thinks social networking are nothing more than government-sponsored/monitored, spying operations/personal information mines - so I avoid them like the plague.
