Campaigning door-to-door in western Chesterfield County, Del. Lee Ware has noticed an electorate "unusually focused" since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The prospective voters are focusing on friends and family - not politics, the Republican delegate said.
Voters who want to cast absentee ballots have one more day - tomorrow - to apply for a ballot by mail. They have until Saturday to apply in person.

Sierra Club against Earley
This morning 4 people were handing out a 1 page, double sided, document entitled "Mark Earley: Bad for Virginia's Environment". This document was authorized by the Sierra Club's Virginia PAC. Since I helped put EPA together 30 years ago, now do environmental defense work, and am a member of the Virginia Air, Water and Waste Boards, I have some idea as to how bad and misleading this document is regarding Mark Earley.As John Fund noted in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, the Democrats have reverted to their Clinton extremism charges as a way to run a campaign. < SNIP >

And this at the WP:
Parties Aim to Get Out The Vote
"Virginia Republicans vowed yesterday to unleash 10,000 Election Day volunteers in Northern Virginia, hoping to propel underdog candidate Mark L. Earley to the governor's mansion with an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort."
A few weeks ago the major-party gubernatorial candidates both were to appear at an event for the Junior League of Richmond and Make Women Count. The Democratic Mark showed, the Republican one did not. (He was being interviewed for the tube - or so say his apostles.)
Because of the Earley no-show, the Make Women Count's Genevieve Dybing and the Junior League's Renee Fain fired off a joint missive: "Although we understand the pressures of a political campaign, we are concerned that Mr. Earley's failure to appear indicates the priority his campaign places on women voters in the Commonwealth."
That's it! Earley and his fellow members of the Taliban-wing of the Republican Party dislike - verily, hate - women. They skip women's forums because they cater only to white, conservative men. (Remember, the GOP hates children, too, because its representatives are anti-education and have allowed 50,000 to go uninsured.) They certainly don't want to acknowledge publicly their true mission in life and the goals toward which they work in politics: (a) to make all women carry every pregnancy to term, (b) to allow women to go out in public only in veils and full-length robes, and (c) to forbid women to work outside the home.
And of course, a Republican candidate believes a strong woman is one who can stand barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen for hours on end.
==================
Too good not to pass along~!
A nice young (disillusioned) lady at the Metro today handed me one of these, asking if I'd like campaign info. I saw Earley's name and took one. The title read as listed above, so I politely said "No" and handed it back to her, then rather loudly proclaimed "I have as much experience as Warner."
They weren't all that successful even getting folks to take the brochures.
I love it that Pubbies hate children, but the Democraps that help kill approximately one million babies each year are "for the children."
It's definitely not, and I think that helps Earley. It's easy to tell a pollster you'll vote for Dork Warner, but it's another thing to show up on Tuesday.
VOTE FOR EARLEY, AND BRING A FRIEND!
