Talk:Bob McDonnell/Archive 3

Federal corruption charges and conviction
This section requires considerable expansion, and probably his own sub-article given the nature of the charges, the fact that this is the first time in the history of Virginia that a Governor was indicted and found guilty, and the fact that the defense chose a path to disclose personal information about the Governor and his wife, all of which are biographical details and necessary for NPOV. -  Cwobeel   (talk)  03:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Doesn't need an additional article; ultimately the section won't grow more than double. Buzzards-Watch Me Work (talk) 05:49, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Why not? See Tom Delay and Tom DeLay campaign finance trial, or Rick Perry and Indictment of Rick Perry. -   Cwobeel   (talk)  15:40, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * With a subarticle it seems it would just lead to POV forking issues. At the moment there is no need because the subsection is rather small, Second Quantization (talk) 16:51, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree. I am collecting sources and will expand extensively over next weeks, at which point we may consider a split per WP:SUMMARY -  Cwobeel   (talk)  17:05, 8 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I've removed the additional infobox . Having two infoboxes is pointless. If you want to add information, modify the existing infobox. Second Quantization (talk) 16:51, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Inclusion of son's arrest?
See Bob_McDonnell. I'm not sure that this is appropriate - we don't generally include things like this about non-notable family members. For example, the article on Al Gore does not mention his son's misdeeds - a long-held consensus. --B (talk) 11:54, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Absolutely agree. removing. Gaijin42 (talk) 15:32, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, good call. MastCell Talk 17:44, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Where is it mentioned...
how, when, why he left the governorship? All I can see is the infobox info. Did he just decide not to run? Are governships in Virginia limited to one term? Don't most incumbents run again? Why didn't he? Shenme (talk) 03:46, 23 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Under the VA Constitution, Virginia governors cannot serve consecutive terms. So, incumbents cannot run again.  They can run for another non-consecutive term, but that has only happened twice.-- Mojo Hand (talk) 13:32, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
