Not that we didn't know all of this already (especially those of us who were blogging in 2005 against Bob McDonnell and for Creigh Deeds), but the following language from the Deeds campaign lays out the themes against Bob McDonnell very well. Key words I think we'll be hearing a lot of in coming months: "wrong," "opposes," "extreme," "national Republican party," "Gilmore, Bush and McCain."
Who is Bob McDonnell? Well, we know he's charismatic. We know he's a capable fundraiser and candidate. But most importantly, we know that Bob McDonnell is wrong on almost every issue that’s important to working-class Virginians.
Bob McDonnell opposes a forward-thinking energy policy. He opposes an additional $125 million of unemployment benefits for laid off Virginia workers. He opposes stem cell research to find cures that will help Virginia families. And he opposes a woman's right to choose – even in cases of rape and incest.
Bob McDonnell has an extreme social and economic agenda. You and I know that. But Creigh needs your help to make sure voters all across the Commonwealth know, too.
I guarantee you that these new ads will not expose any of these facts.
Donate to our campaign today to make sure we have the resources we need to take on Bob McDonnell.
These ads, and McDonnell's whole campaign, will be well-funded by out-of-state interests and the national Republican party. These are the same people who led the fight for the agendas of Gilmore, Bush and McCain.
