The attack ads are flying in the Virginia gubernatorial race, with Democrat Creigh Deeds continuing to hammer Republican Bob McDonnell over his hard-right grad school thesis that attacked working women, and the GOP going after Deeds on taxes.
The new Deeds radio ad features a phone call between two sisters, talking about how one of them just had a good job interview:
Sister 1: Good benefits? You know Mom’s gonna ask…
Sister 2: Pretty good! Health care includes mammograms, cancer screenings…and the salary is what men at my level make.
Sister 1: So basically nothing Bob McDonnell supports?
The new TV ad from the Republican Governors Association depicts Deeds as flip-flopping on taxes: He says on camera that he has no plans to raise taxes, but also that he would be willing to sign a tax increase. “Everything is on the table with me,” Deeds is shown saying.
