Virginia gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell released a new TV ad following the second of four debates with his Democratic opponent, Creigh Deeds. The ad, as the debate did, focuses on transportation. Northern Virginia and the entire Washington D.C. region have some of the worst traffic congestion in the country, so road and public transportation expansion is always a top issue in state politics.

To pay for his plan, McDonnell wants to sell off the state-run liquor stores for $500 million, though Deeds said in the debate that this plan has already been denied several times in the state legislature and that the annual revenue from liquor sales provides needed funding for services such as mental health treatment.
