I'm a VA voter on the NC line and see a recent increase in Obama yard signs all over. In Virginia the name of Kaine is very prominent on the signs. VA economy is much better off than in NC which ought to push middle class voters towards Obama. Praying NC isn't a lost cause, still cheerful about VA. I do think some VA Republicans are ashamed of Allen and will be more likely to vote for Obama because of Kaine.
