RICHMOND -- Despite winning the governor's race by a 17-percentage point blowout, Virginia Republicans insisted Wednesday that they had gained no broad mandate and would make their top priority the pragmatic platform that drove voters to the polls.
The state's Republicans have recaptured the governor's office after eight years out of power. But Gov.-elect Robert F. McDonnell made no mention Wednesday of issues that drive the party's social conservatives, such as abortion and gun rights. He told a packed news conference at the State Capitol that his focus would be to create jobs, keep taxes low and repair the state's tattered budget.
