If there is one certainty about this weekend’s state GOP convention, it’s this: Virginia Republicans will crown Bob McDonnell as their nominee for governor and the party standard-bearer.
McDonnell is unchallenged for the nomination within his party while Democrats are locked in a three-way battle for the gubernatorial nod.
A former attorney general and state delegate from Virginia Beach, McDonnell is optimistically viewed as a “harbinger of renewal” for the GOP and a candidate capable of reversing some of its recent election disappointments, said Old Dominion University political science professor Jesse Richman.
