Gov. McDonnell: Romney-Ryan ‘honesty’ will hook independents

Governor Bob McDonnell (R-VA) opens up about why he thinks the Romney-Ryan ticket will get independent and undecided voters interested.

Gov. McDonnell says, “I think what Paul Ryan brings to the ticket is now a serious conversation about debt, taxes, spending, energy, entitlement reform. These are the things that will determine what kind of country we’ve got for our kids and our grandkids. They need to be talked about and Paul Ryan is a good guy to do it. So I think independent voters when they realize that we have these serious problems will say, yes, we do need to make some changes and this is the team to do it because the status quo with Biden and Obama is unacceptable.”
