1. Genius. That is WAY out there in Va.

Warner did really well there. Kaine worked it hard with little gain. Webb did very well there.

Hopefully Obama will take Webb, Warner, and Ben Jones with him.

I have been saying (and emailing them) that 3 days on Route 58 would be a great idea.

3. It sure is way out there. But he's just going there to see the gorgeous countryside.

I used to work sometimes in Lebanon as a freelance court reporter. I loved traveling those roads.

Great to see Virginia is competitive.

Glad to see he's going through Southwest Virginia. I hope he talks a lot about clean coal technology and building up the unions. It's a very theologically conservative area, but it's also a lot of "cross the union and you will pay dearly for it." That's why a Democrat like Boucher keeps his job there. He works to protect the coal-miners.
