A few weeks ago H.Ross and the idiots warned the Va. Republicans not count any chickens just yet and then today:
The Kerry campaign may have withdrawn paid staff members from Virginia and reassigned them to so-called battlegrounds, but Virginia Democrats still appear more enthusiastic than usual for a presidential race. Kerry signs are popping up in neighborhoods that in previous elections saw few Democratic props.
Although Republicans remain the state's dominant party, in recent years Democrats have done an outstanding job of identifying their voters and getting them to the polls.
Soothsayers give Virginia's electoral votes to George Bush. But a determined - perhaps off-the-radar - Democratic drive could reduce the popular margin. The significance of the national popular vote compels both parties to maximize their turnout everywhere.
