NEWPORT NEWS, Va. Republican Bob McDonnell swept to an easy victory Tuesday night and will become Virginia's 71st governor, marking a reversal of fortunes for his party in the state.
But after taking office in January, analysts say he will have to reach beyond party lines to deal with a horrendous state budget that defies easy or popular fixes.
It was an early night for McDonnell, with the Associated Press declaring him the victor over Democrat Creigh Deeds less than an hour after the polls closed.
