Is Governor McDonnell Raising Veep Profile?

The Roanoke Times Blue Ridge Caucus blog is reporting that Governor Bob McDonnell's Policital Action Committee (PAC) is running an ad touting his accomplishments of the last 21/2 years.

It can't be because he is preparing for re-election next year because Virginia governors cannot serve more than one term without sitting out four years before running again.  There had been talk early that McDonnell could be a possible running mate for presumed GOP nominee Mitt Romney.  And, McDonnell does fit this mold of smart, ambitious, clean-cut and a little awkward, used by The Hill in describing the type of VP that Romney may select.
