I'm not going to link to the Moran campaign's pathetic ad or comment much further about it. I believe the following McAuliffe campaign press release, including the "fact check" I've put in the comments section, pretty much covers it. The only other thing I'd add is that if everyone who supported another candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries last year somehow was anti-Obama (obviously, this is completely laughable), then the Moran campaign has some serious housecleaning to do...
McAuliffe Campaign Releases Statement on Moran Campaign's Negative and Misleading Radio Advertisements
Today, gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith released the following statement on Brian Moran's negative radio ads:
"Negative attacks like this one are nothing new from Brian Moran, who continues to run false and misleading ads. The fact is that Terry fought tirelessly after the presidential primaries to get Barack Obama elected.
"Terry is proud to have held dozens and dozens of events across Virginia and the country on President Obama's behalf. And he's proud to have worked with leaders like President Obama and Governor Kaine to establish unity in the Democratic Party after the presidential primary. It's sad that Brian Moran is trying to divide Democrats again, especially at a time when we all need to come together to help President Obama get the economy back on track.
"With a strong record of creating thousands of jobs and turning around struggling businesses, Terry doesn't need to rely on negative and misleading attacks. It's unfortunate that Brian Moran does."
