Currently up 7 points in the polls with a month left to go in the election, Bob McDonnell (R) announced today the latest in a series of statewide TV advertising campaigns. This comes on the same day The Washington Post reported McDonnell and his supporters have spent twice as much on TV ads in the state as Creigh Deeds (D).

The ad blitz features one positive spot and one negative, and both are airing statewide -- including Northern Virginia, which resides in the expensive Washington, D.C., media market.

"Reality TV" features the uncomfortable performance Deeds gave with a scrum of reporters following a debate last month. It's 60 seconds and will run through Election Day, acccording to the McDonnell campaign.

"Trust," a 30-second ad, features women who worked with McDonnell during his time as a prosecutor and state attorney general. It's a defensive move against Deeds's onslaught of ads painting McDonnell as a social conservative opposed to wives and mothers in the workplace, based on a thesis McDonnell wrote in graduate school shortly before running for the House of Delegates.
