Gov. McDonnell on VA counties to watch tonight

Governor Bob McDonnell (R-VA) identifies key counties in Virginia that will be a good indicator of who will win the state tonight.

Gov. McDonnell says, “I would look for the Beltway counties around Washington, D.C. – Loudoun and Fairfax and Prince William. If Governor Romney were to win, let’s say, Loudoun county and Prince William county and hold his own and stay close in Fairfax, to me that would be a great signal that he’s going to win the state. And the same with Chesterfield and around Richmond. Those are the bellwether counties that tell us how Republicans are going to do. And that shows us how those independent, undecided voters will break.”
