Any VA experts out there with thoughts on this one? Is VA still up for grabs? Is Obama still campaigning actively there?

Uh sure it is. Did the number of blacks double in VA or something.

Looks like I might be working Virginia and staying closer to home this election.

Another weekend poll from Survey USA. Hardly surprising numbers. McCain is probably up by between 2 and 5 in Virginia right now and other polls bear that out.

VA is definitely in play. Obama has set up 52 campaign offices throughout the state. McCain will have 10. Absentee balloting begins today. This will be a close race.

Wasn’t Mondale up by 18%...? be VERY sceptical of ALL polls... a lot of folks lie for the fun of it....and many folks think the media and poll-takers have their own agenda so they say crazy stuff...

This is bull. Most other polls in VA have McCain up 3-5 points. democrats have gotten elected here in the last couple of elections because the Republicans running ran terrible races and the rats ran as conservatives. That won't work for Obama.

Palin was scheduled to appear in VA Beach on the 18th but she cancelled. This followed the huge rally in Northern Virginia the week before...the most left leaning part of the state. Watch what the candidates are doing. If McCain's campaign thought they were really down in VA there's no way Palin would have cancelled last week in VA Beach.

We need to return Arlington to the District of Columbia.
(and throw in Alexandria too.)

How do they know how to weight the party affiliations?

Virginia does not have party registration in its voter registration process. In other words, citizens do not designate a political party affiliation when registering to vote in Virginia.

The polling sample was not limited to registered voters or better yet, registered voters who are likely to vote.

I think DC ought to annex Arlington and Fairfax Counties, and let Virginia remain Virginia, not Maryland/DC Southern Branch.
