Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R-Minn.) is out front with a statement congratulating Bob McDonnell on his big win in Virginia: I want to send my congratulations to Bob,
“„“I want to send my congratulations to Bob, Maureen and their family. Bob ran a positive campaign based on the conservative principles of fiscal responsibility and low taxes. Virginians embraced his conservative message, rejecting more taxes, card-check and spending that would hurt economic growth and job creation. I’m especially proud of the RGA’s historic role in supporting Bob’s effort, and look forward to working with the Governor-Elect next year.”
