Voted in Shady Grove precinct in Henrico Co., VA. Arrived 5:30 am and there were 40 people ahead of me. By 6:00, when the polls opened, the crowd had grown to over 200. Very orderly. Looked VERY MCCAIN-Palin. A few Obama signs and bumper stickers in the parking lot. Many more McCain signs. This is Eric Cantor’s (Rep. 7th district) neighborhood.
I’ve done calling and door-knocking since Friday in Henrico Co., suburb of Richmond. In the western part it looks about 70-30 McCain. I would say plus or minus 5 points.
Word has it on the news here that if Virginia goes blue by the Gallup margins, McCain is likely toast.
I think the coal issue will really help McCain take VA.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Bambi would bring bankrupting the coal industry at that late date! Any clue as to why?
