Put a fork in him. He's done! McDonnell and Cucinnelli... what a pair.
Then again... we are talking the antebellum Commonwealth of Virginia, where even the most corrupt teabagger can get elected to office. I think the RW elements in NC stole their blueprint from Virginia.

Donor Jonnie Williams, Star Scientific are cooperating in probe of Gov. Robert McDonnell
By Carol D. Leonnig and Rosalind S. Helderman for the Washington Post

A prominent political donor and his dietary supplement company have been cooperating for several months with federal prosecutors in a fast-moving public corruption investigation of Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell, according to three people familiar with the probe.

Jonnie R. Williams Sr., chief executive of Star Scientific, has turned over personal financial records and sat for interviews in which he provided firsthand accounts of luxury gifts and more than $120,000 given to McDonnell (R) and his family members since 2011, the people said.

Star has given prosecutors access to corporate records and offered information from other company officials. The three spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is in a sensitive stage.

The cooperation is an ominous sign for McDonnell, suggesting that federal prosecutors are focused on trying to build a potential criminal case against him.

1. Proof there is no honor among theives.

2. Yep, and eventually it comes back to bite them

Whether or not this has any effect on how people vote remains to be seen. The way the political worm has turned in VA and NC these past few years is very sobering. There was a time I had really high hopes for both of these states.
