Jeff E. Schapiro has this:
An anti-Bob McDonnell political-action committee is wasting no time spending the $100,000 it got from the Democratic Governors Association.
Common Sense Virginia today is rolling out online commercials attacking the all-but-official Republican gubernatorial nominee for his views on women’s issues.
McDonnell opposes abortion and homosexual rights. He resisted higher taxes for public schools, law and order and human services.
A former attorney general and ex-member of the House of Delegates, McDonnell has close ties to the conservative activists who dominate the Republican Party.
With three Democrats battling for their party’s nomination for governor, McDonnell is using the preliminaries of the 2009 campaign to reposition himself as a moderate interested only in practical solutions.
In a written statement, University of Virginia student Sarah Buckley, a member of the Common Sense Virginia advisory board, describes McDonnell as a “far-right extremist” who’s against abortion even in cases of rape and incest.
The ads will run for at least two weeks. They’re being posted on sites popular with women. Among them: Martha Stewart Living, Every Day with Rachel Ray and Women’s Entertainment Television.
The ads also are available through Google and YouTube. Visitors to those sites will be directed to a Common Sense Virginia Web site that deconstructs the McDonnell record and the PAC’s YouTube circuit.
Those addresses are: http://www.therealbobmcdonnell.com and http://www.youtibe.com/commonsenseva.

These women don’t speak for me, my five daughters and daughter-in-laws, nor for my many sisters, sister-in-laws, nieces, and cousins. We are a pro-life family and that means defending unborn babies (including little unborn women) and their mothers. My husband and I offered a shelter home to over a dozen unwed moms over the years who made a decision both they and their children could live with.
Bob McDonnell is no “extremist.“ Neither are the women of “Silent no more” who regret their abortions and share their stories of men coercing them into abortion, being lied to and being mutilated at abortion mills, being abandoned by their partners and “feminist” friends, etc.
There are extremists in the abortion debate; Bob McDonnell isn’t one of them. They work at Planned Parenthood clinics where they instruct underage girls to cover up for predatory adult rapists. They champion stabbing near-term babies in the neck with scissors and sucking out their brains. They think it’s perfectly fine to leave living breathing infants born alive after abortion in dirty linen baskets to suffocate.
Thank God there are a few politicians with the manly courage to stand up to name-calling liberals and defend the fundamental right to life described in the Declaration of Independence. They are the equivalent of the patriots who fought against tyranny. I’m proud to be a delegate for Bob McDonnell at the Virginia State Convention, a man who recognizes the dignity and worth of women from the very beginning.
