Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell: “Help is on the way”

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell greets a man who says he is a World War II vet as former Mason City Mayor Bill Schickel looks on.

MASON CITY – Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell visited Mason City today.

Governor McDonnell met with Republican Party supporters at the Republican “Victory Office” located at 1314 4th Street Wednesday at about 3:3o PM.  The event was free and open to the public.

Former Mason City Mayor Bill Schickel introduced Governor McDonnell, comparing his track record of lowering unemployment in Virgina to that of Iowa Governor Terry Branstad.  Both states are now below 6% unemployment.

Governor McDonnell, who was running a little behind his 2:30 planned arrival, was met warmly by Republicans, some of which were busy making phone calls to undecided voters (they rang a bell every time they had a “successful” call.)  He said America needs a new direction and that “help is on the way” in the form of the Mitt Romney – Paul Ryan presidential ticket.

“He tried, but it just didn’t work,” Governor McDonnell said of Barack Obama’s policies, and his “failed” budget that did not pass Congress.

Governor McDonnell is in Iowa at the same time as Mitt Romney and President Obama, who today are in Cedar Rapids and Davenport, respectively.
