It's hard not to be impressed with this:
Gov. Bob McDonnell remains among the most popular chief state executives in any state surveyed by Quinnipiac University, with a 58 - 24 percent job approval rating.
One wonders, with the country struggling but with Virginia doing spectacularly by comparison, who those 24% are.
Holdout sore losers?

They're called diehard Democrats, Jerry. The kind who'd vote for Adolf Hitler if he could be reincarnated and nominated by the Party of Death. (Obviously with some exceptions who'd settle for the likes of Jesse Jackson or Al plus, the inevitable sore losers)
Federal spending and employment continues to drive spending in Virginia resulting in a strong state economy and thus the governor reaps the rewards.
He's also steered away from a lot of social conservative issue stuff that earns him kudos from independent voters.
Honestly, I don't think it goes much beyond that.
Well, except for him being there to sign legislation that is being piled on his desk by the conservative House of Delegates.
He learned well from Mark Warner. Do the bidding of your base but don't make an issue of it and your popularity goes up by default.
