Virginia, Ohio and either Iowa or Wisconsin. That where it will be won or lost.
Here in the Old Dominion, it’s not so friendly to Obama/Biden these days. :-)
Pet peeve time, is it possible for an article to GET TO THE POINT? Every writer nowadays thinks I want to read about the Sneads and Shenendoah Valley’s geography before finally addressing the article headline: Virginia Moves Toward Romney. Did it ever get there, I gave up.
And let’s hope that George Allen wins election back to the Senate.
I still can’t believe how the MSM manufactured that controversy about “macaca”. George Allen said macaca, and the Washington Post and others ran front page stories, defining macaca for us, and telling us that it was an ethnic slur. The whole thing was manufactured. But it was enough to defeat Allen in 2006.
Virginia is a battleground state. Let’s hope it comes through.

It apauls me that Virginia, Washington’s home state, voted for the usurper.
This article doesn’t really say anything. Doesn’t reference a poll or anything olther than an interview with a couple of people.
I’m here, in VA, and let me tell what I see: indifference. The ads have been going for months. I see few signs or bumper stickers. No one wants to talk about the election. Its really kind of weird to tell the truth.
In my neighborhood with 150 plus homes I went around both Thursday and Friday and counted signs and bumper stickers. The results:
Zero yard signs. None. Nada.
2 bumper stickers for hussein.
1 bumper sticker for Rick Santorum
2 bumper stickers for Virgil Goode (my house).
That’s it. In going around town I’ve seen maybe a total of 40 signs/stickers for hussein. 12 or 13 for willard. And that’s it. As compared to 2008 its really something to behold.
I’m afraid that the map of Virginia is like the map of the US, 2008: most of the land area goes to the Republican, but the Democrat cleans up in the urban areas. Virginia has a lot of leftists in the close in NVA suburbs and arty places like Old Town Alexandria. It also has many poor and/or ignorant minorities who will vote for Obama.
Sometimes I’m working very late, so late that I have a chance to talk to the cleaning crew coming in at 11 p.m. I was watching the GOP convention online last week when a very nice Eastern European lady came in to dust the office. Very worthwhile person, extremely hard-working, smart, focused, organized, a Christian, has education from her home country. But her English is so awful that she couldn’t understand the issues. She was very proud that she was a new US citizen and this is the first election in which she’ll be able to vote.
“Who are you going to vote for?” I asked.
“I vote Obama. He good. Happy. Other man, no. Eh. Not help so good poor womans like me.”
As you see, it’s pretty difficult to have an in-depth conversation about sociopolitical issues with people in this situation. They’re not going to read and analyze, but they’re sure-God going to vote.
