RICHMOND, Va. -A Republican who promised to create jobs won the Virginia governor's office just a year after state voters helped a Democrat who promised change — and jobs — win the White House.
Bob McDonnell, a former state attorney general, won with nearly 59 percent of the vote Tuesday, claiming a mandate for his conservative agenda with help from independent voters.
They preferred him by nearly a 2-1 ratio over Democrat R. Creigh Deeds, exit polls showed, a shift from 2008, when independents in the state split between the parties.
