Veep Beat: GOP Govs Bask in Walker's Wisconsin Win Image credit: Win McNamee/Getty Images WALKER WIN BOOSTS RGA AND McDONNELL: As head of the Republican Governors Association, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell led the RGA's efforts to support Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in Tuesday's recall election, dispatching governors, whose names have also been floated as potential VP contenders, to campaign with him in Wisconsin and pouring millions of dollars into the race. As the Washington Examiner notes, Walker's win in Wisconsin gave McDonnell "bragging rights" over his DGA counterpart, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, and served as a "a dress rehearsal for nearly a dozen gubernatorial contests this fall." Instead it looks like it's going to be a late night in Chicago," Jindal said on Fox News" "On the Record" with Greta Van Susteren. @bobmcdonnell: Congrats Gov. Scott Walker! Tonight, Wisconsin voters rewarded political courage. @jebbush: Congrats @ScottWalker! @bobbyjindal: Congratulations @ScottKWalker! Courage & leadership won. @govmikehuckabee: I applaud Wisconsin voters for making the right choice again! @barackobama call your office! In short, a more aggressive campaign might warrant a more aggressive pick that complements, rather than contradicts, Romney's confrontational style. N.J. SHORTFALL INCREASES UNDER CHRISTIE: NJ.com reported revenues in New Jersey were down $50 million to $100 million after last month's tax collections, according to the budget chief of the Office of Legal Services in New Jersey. Gov. Chris Christie's office claimed the shortfall was closer to $28.9 million. But as NJ.com described, "the latest revenue numbers are pushing hard against Gov. Chris Christie's claims of a "Jersey Comeback."" OHIO DEMS LAY OUT ATTACKS ON PORTMAN: ABC News" Gregory Simmons reports the Ohio Democratic Party Tuesday "unleashed a series of "fact checks" that might otherwise pass as potential attack lines against Portman should he become Romney's #2." These attack lines include his involvement in the run-up to the financial crisis, his reliance on outsourcing, his inconsistency on the auto rescue, his "radical, ideological views towards women," and the fact that Portman is not well known among Ohio voters. More here from the Ohio Dems. McDONNELL APPROVAL RATING: A Quinnipiac poll released this morning found Gov.
