At least a couple more Republican presidential candidates have called Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell about his endorsement, including former House speaker Newt Gingrich. But not businessman Herman Cain.

McDonnell was pressed about the courtship Tuesday morning during his monthly segment on WTOP radio. Gingrich is a “smart guy with big ideas,” McDonnell said. Cain hasn’t called, but “he’s a breath of fresh air.” He didn’t mention any other candidates by name.
