The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star Endorses Bob McDonnell for Governor

FREDERICKSBURG- The Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star today endorsed Bob McDonnell in the 2009 campaign for governor.In endorsing McDonnell the paper wrote:

“Mr. McDonnell, the former attorney general and legislator, has worked harder. He has devised a detailed plan for everything short of setting out your azaleas and flossing. State Sen. Deeds has produced no such library and, on the main issue, mobility, aims to convene a bipartisan commission. For success, he would need a bipartisan legislature. He wouldn’t have it, especially after his mucky campaign…..

.....Executive capacity? Mr. McDonnell not only proficiently ran the A.G.‘s office, but also, after serving four years on active duty, retired as a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve. Mr. Deeds lacks this command pedigree….

....A governorship lasts four years. Our view is that Mr. McDonnell would wear better and do more for Virginia. We endorse him to lead our state.”
