Today the Creigh Deeds gubernatorial campaign released a wave of paid media aimed at informing voters of the out-of-the-mainstream views and record of Republican Bob McDonnell. The campaign released a new radio ad running on Northern Virginia radio, a new website and a large-scale Google and banner advertising campaign.

As highlighted in these ads, McDonnell’s “blueprint for governing” lays out a political philosophy that he spent the next 20 years working to implement. According to the Washington Post, McDonnell advanced no fewer than 10 of the 15 action items in his blueprint.
Areas where McDonnell’s political career matched his political blueprint include:
– opposing equal pay and anti-discrimination laws,
– voting against child care,
– supporting vouchers and other schemes to drain funding from public schools,
– sponsoring or cosponsoring 35 measures rolling back the right to choose; and
– voting against information about and access to contraception.
“Bob McDonnell’s record shows that his political priority has been to advance the social agenda he laid out as a 34-year-old graduate student on the verge of a political career,” said campaign spokesman Jared Leopold. “As a state legislator, attorney general and gubernatorial candidate he has been remarkably consistent in following through. Virginians have a right to know not just what McDonnell’s record is, but what agenda he intends to bring to the Governor’s Mansion.”
