I agree several GOPers got caught up in Obama’s machine. Most of the UVA students will not vote in 2010 or will vote in their home districts. Most of them were Northern Virginia contaminations who should have voted in NOVA. I may see if my rep can play around with the voting requirements for part-time residents.

McCain won the district by only 51%-48%, so it wouldn’t have taken much to cause trouble for Goode if he was running a bad campaign.

I’m wondering who will run in VA-2. Thelma Drake had one scare in 06 and got washed out in the Obama wave in 08. Maybe somebody new there?

We Have a BIG OPPORTUNITY to win back the youth vote - THE DEFICIT/ DEBT ISSUE

Drive home the fact that Obama is refusing to reform social security, refusing to fix medicare, and racking up $10 TRILLION in debt in his budget proposals. It adds up to making the young in this country hold the bag for Obama's fiscal irresponsibility.

Add to that the fact that obama's economic policies are not leading to jobs growth and you have a huge oppty to win back youth voters who were caught up in 'hope and change'.
