Saw this coming — the RGA has turned yet another Creigh Deeds awkward moment from a post-debate gaggle into yet another negative TV ad slamming the Democratic nominee in the Virginia gubernatorial contest.

Last month, Deeds stumbled over reporters’ questions about taxes immediately following widely reported debate in Fairfax County, the heart of the D.C. suburbs. The RGA turned the moment into at least three ads, hammering Deeds for what the party said was his attempt to “have it both ways” on raising taxes.

After a televised debate Monday night, the RGA says in it’s new ad, Deeds stepped in it again over his support (or lack thereof) for a public option in the health care reform debate.
