Obama is still the dog in VA. Here’s three recent polls that favor McCain:
CNU Virginia Poll 09/10 - 09/14 500 RV 48 39 McCain +9
National Journal/FD 09/11 - 09/15 400 RV 48 41 McCain +7
InAdv/PollPosition 09/17 - 09/17 502 LV 48 46 McCain +2
I attended a GOP district meeting last Thursday. Jim Gilmore addressed our group. The message from the GOP was that VA was very much in play and that the race was very close and could go either way. They felt if we could get enough turnout and convince independents and Dem moderates to go our way, we could win. They also said that Obama had fielded a huge ground effort and was pouring in huge amounts of money. Unfortunately, the RNC can’t help us in the same way since most of the money is going to McCain and very little to Rep candidates down ballot.
