Deeds Launches New TV Ad Featuring Obama

With less than two weeks to go before election day, Creigh Deeds is bringing out the big guns in the Virginia air war. The Democratic nominee for governor launched a new TV ad today featuring President Obama calling on state Democrats to continue the momentum from his historic victory in the state last year.

From the script:

Last year, Virginia, you helped lead a movement of Americans who believed that their voices could make a difference. That's what we need to do in this race.

The Obama audio is culled from an appearance the president made for Deeds in early August. Obama has not been back since, but is scheduled to make the short trip to Virginia on Deeds' behalf Oct. 27.

Late Update: The ad is running in the Norfolk and Richmond markets. A Deeds spokesperson said it will be "expading to other markets shortly."
