CNN Political Ticker reports that GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell of Virginia blurted out the "F-Bomb" during a live radio interview.

[Radio host Mark] Plotkin asked if McDonnell would consider an increase in the state gasoline tax to help fund the transportation budget. McDonnell said no, and uttered the expletive during his response.

"So no tax will be raised during your four-year term?," Plotkin asked.

McDonnell answered: "I'm going to find other ways to be able to fund transportation. I've outlined 12 f---g funding mechanisms that are creative, that are entrepreneurial."
