President Obama to campaign with Deeds at Old Dominion University

Two weeks away from the Nov. 3 election and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds trails in the polls by at least 8 points.

According to a SurveyUSA poll, Republican candidate Bob McDonnell leads by 19 points, 59 percent to 40 percent.

To help close the gap, Deeds will be campaigning with President Obama at Old Dominion University next Tuesday, October 27th.

Moreover, the Deeds campaign just released a new TV ad featuring President Obama, “calling on Virginians to get ‘Fired Up’ again.”
