At the same time as the photo arrived, the Democratic National Committee was holding a press conference call criticizing the Minnesota governor for appearing with McDonnell saying:  "Many questions have been raised recently after a McDonnell writing called working women 'detrimental' to the family, contraception for unmarried couples 'illogical' and promoted religious teachings in public schools."
