McDonnell Inauguration Signals New GOP Tone in Virginia
A frigid Richmond Saturday warmed with sun as Bob McDonnell took office as Virginia governor. About 5,000 attendees included more minorities than in recent GOP events, with charity efforts by attendees and references to Haiti relief. McDonnell, sworn by Justice Barbara Milano Keenan, pledged tax and regulatory reform to spur job creation and a government focused on core services, echoing Thatcher and Reagan notes. He aims to make Virginia energy leader and upholds federalism while seeking innovation and privatization. Democrats gave cautious early praise and the new governor frames a potential revival for the Republican Party.
