I just wanted this local paper on Virginia Election News out there as the MSM have Va. painted blue already

Virginia is NOT Blue! If anything undecided's have a McCain chance of a win.

Go Vote! Obama is not winning no matter how many times CNN and MSNBC and the MSM

NEW BREAKING NEWS: of military absentee votes NOT counting in Va. due to 'witness.' not matching or some drummed up horse crap.

The dems MUST HAVE saw they were losing Va.

Va. will be the new Fla. CALL TO ACTION in Va.!

[Clintonfatigued]

This is a good sign. Another poll shows it too close, also.

[AHerald]

The Mason-Dixon poll shows that 11 percent of whites are undecided - far more than usual in the closing week of a statewide election, Coker said. The last time the figure was nearly as high was 1989 in Virginia, when Democrat Doug Wilder was elected the nation's first black governor.

Coker said "almost all" of the undecided white voters broke for Coleman on Election Day; a similar break this year could deliver Virginia's 13 electoral votes to McCain.

"But frankly, I'm scared of Obama and some of the things he's been talking about."

That, and that alone, will be why McCain wins this election (if indeed he wins). People are terrified about what Obama will do to this country. The question is, are there enough of them and will they vote.

[GaryLee1990]

I'm very surprised that VA is tilting towards Obama. Before the 700 Billion Dollar bailout - they were leaning towards McCain (according to RealClearPolitics).

"I'm pretty disappointed in Republicans right now, and I don't think John McCain is offering a lot (GREED) that's new," said Morris, a retired Navy captain who lives in Chesterfield County, a prosperous Richmond suburb. "But frankly, I'm scared (FEAR) of Obama and some of the things he's been talking about."

All savvy stock market players know that FEAR is a much more powerful motivator than GREED. So what does that have to do with the price of tea in China or this election???

Middle America is EXTREMELY FEARFUL OF THE RADICAL MARXIST, whereas Barry's KoolAid drinkers are just greedy.

Middle America will turnout in numbers that will crush the Marxist's hordes.

"The million-dollar question is whether there will be a Wilder/Gantt effect in the 2008 presidential race," Coker said. "No matter what anyone theorizes, the answer today is that no one knows for sure."

Million-dollar question ?

The correct metric is trillions of dollars.

My hope too

McCain was up 3 in Mason Dixon a month ago and Obama was up 2 in Mason Dixon on 10/21. It’s been within MOE for a very long time. That’s where things are. It’s about turnout in VA.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

UPDATE

The military absentee ballots WILL BE COUNTED!

Virginia's attorney general stepped in Monday and said all the ballots must be counted under federal law, which trumps the state law. Federal law does not require the address of a witness to be included.

I heard this on Fox News wrong. I am sorry I did not realize it has been resolved. THANK GOD!

Three hundred miles west, in tiny Sugar Grove, a farming and manufacturing community deep in the Appalachians, Blankenbeckler worries that a McCain victory would mean "four more years of kind of dragging along" but that Obama might be "borderline Socialist." Blankenbeckler said he is trying to decide "which is least worst."

Yeah, I bet he is undecided. Does anyone in his right mind think that a "borderline Socialist" would be a better choice? The vast majority of undecideds will go for McCain.

[VaBthang4]

Talk about a rose colored perspective: Virginia (historically conservative state)Too Close to Call Looks Good for McCain (the conservative candidate)?

Uhhh, right.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

All electoral maps have Virginia BLUE!

This is not correct!

[Chairman of the Bard]

I lived in the Pentagon City area of Arlington, VA, for 6 years. Literally a 12 minute Metro ride from downtown DC. Much of NoVa has become a suburb of DC, and libs have been moving in like termites from Maryland. They move from Maryland because everything is taxed at a higher rate, and everything costs more. The irony is that they move in and vote for politicians who would turn Virginia into Maryland.

Last prez candidate to win in VA is LBJ in ‘64. Obama’s Utopian Society would make the Great Society look fiscally conservative.

Obama needs to be defeated in VA.

[Don Corleone]

This entire election will hang on just how well the “ACORN” wing of the socialist party can succeed in stealing the votes!

[rumrunner]

McCain will win VA.

And for the “experts” quoted in the article, I give you this:

``He really will need a miracle to win, and the last miracle was for Harry S. Truman,” Sabato said in an interview after his speech. Truman pulled his upset presidential victory in 1948.”

And who was good ‘ole Liberal Larry speaking of? No, not McCain, but Bush- in 2004.

One word, polls

Pollsters (that everyone is trusting to call the election for Obama as CNN did in 00) have people hanging up and uncooperative because they do not want to be called 'a racist'.

Another word ACORN.

Another word

UNDECIDED'S are all white.

IMHO.....I believe there are a lot of people in the same boat....although, personally, I already know who is the worst of the lot....by a long shot...

[EdnaMode]

I couldn’t believe my eyes when they put VA blue instead of as up for grabs. Are they kidding? It’s not like Webb beat Allen in a rout, so what gives?!
