VA GUBE: "Here"

Democrat Terry McAuliffe, former national party chairman, has a new television ad up in Richmond and Hampton Roads today highlighting his ideas for harnessing new energy technology to create jobs and promote a cleaner environment.

The ad -- titled "Here" -- features McAuliffe on a boat "miles off the coast of Virginia Beach" where he is talking about wind energy. The spot is McAuliffe's third on television. Neither of his Democratic rivals -- former Del. Brian Moran or state Sen. Creigh Deeds -- have aired a television ad.

A campaign spokeswoman said the boat in the ad was chartered.
