On a call with reporters about cap-and-trade this afternoon, Bob McDonnell was asked for his take on President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. The Virginia Republican gubernatorial nominee said he was “delighted” and “pleased” with the award.

From the Washington Post:

McDonnell said he’d been on the road and had not extensively read the committee’s reasoning for the award, other than that it had to do with Obama’s diplomatic efforts. But he said he was pleased with anything that “brings accolades to the United States.” And then he repeated, “I’m delighted to see him win the award.”
