McDonnell hit on women’s issues
April 15, 2009 12:38 PM

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.
