FILE - In this Oct. 17, 2012, file photo, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell gestures as he introduces Republican presidential candidate, former Gov. Mitt Romney during a rally at Tidewater Community college in Chesapeake, Va. Republicans are in position to extend their recent gains among governors as they compete for seats they haven't won in a quarter-century. Of the 11 states with gubernatorial elections, eight are now led by Democrats, and each of the most competitive races is a GOP pickup opportunity. The numbers suggests that Republicans soon will claim 30 to 33 governorships after holding just 22 a few years ago _ an advantage not reflected in the divided Congress or competitive presidential race. "It says that when people are choosing the government closest to the people, they're choosing Republicans," said McDonnell, chairman of the Republican Governors Association. "They realize the CEO of the state has got to be someone who's fiscally conservative and is going to focus on jobs." (AP Photo/Steve Helber, File)

This photo taken June 27, 2012, shows Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney campaigning with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell at Electronic Instrumentation and Technology in Sterling, Va. Before the election of President Barack Obama, Virginia, a two-party state in down-ballot races, had not sided with Democrats on the presidency since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. Jimmy Carter in 1976 was the last Democratic nominee to win North Carolina. Each state is in play again, with Romney needing to reclaim Florida and at least one of the others to reach the White House. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
