Today the Deeds campaign released a new television spot in which Bob McDonnell says exactly what elections are for and why he is running. In the ad, McDonnell addresses the 2008 National Right to Life Committee, telling them “elections determine who’s got the power.” McDonnell continues that “those policymakers with the votes determine whether or not we’re going to have a pro-life state.”
“This video makes clear what everybody needs to know,” said campaign spokesperson Jared Leopold. “Just over one year ago, while serving as attorney general, Bob McDonnell told a gathering of right wing activists that Virginia has elections to determine who has the power and whether the Commonwealth will be pro-life.
“It’s clear from what Bob McDonnell wrote, what he has said and how he voted that his priority will be to continue his efforts to move a divisive social agenda on the state. He outlined it as a student, almost immediately began sponsoring bills in the legislature to put it into effect, continued the effort as attorney general and has openly said that’s what he wants to do as governor.”
