Among women, Obama led 51 percent to 41 percent with 8 percent undecided, according to the survey by Public Policy Polling. Among men, McCain led with 50 percent to 42 percent for Obama with 8 percent undecided. 42%?? not too bad.

Overall, Obama led with 47 percent of the vote to 45 percent for McCain, with 8 percent undecided.

BTW this was buried in our local horrible rag under the headline
Virginia's Democrats say they're united

[Hope And Change]

1. Yay...K & R!

[saltpoint]

2. Yes, Virginia, there is a political sea change.

[underpants]

3. They are holding it back with everything they have

at least here in central VA (Richmond Petersburg) not only do you have the Times-Disgrace burying the Senate Phase II report on page A7 (beside a huge cell phone ad) but the local news barely covers anything about Obama (can't let the groupthink know it is okay to like him) AND the "South's first TV station" CBS affiliate just got bought by Sinclair.

The surprise around here will soon be replaced with outrage...and the rest of the state will continue to laugh at us.

[saltpoint]

4. underpants, nobody at my house is going to laugh at you.

Virginia has been dazzling lately for Democrats.

We had Kaine, then Webb over Cement-Head Allen, and lately M. Warner looks good in that Senate race, plus Obama doing well in recent polling.

It seems to me that you folks are doin' it right. Bravo.

[Nay]

7. Ain't it the shitz, underpants? I've lived here in Richmond for 15 years,

and I just shake my head at the Times-Disgrace -- it shouldn't be allowed to call itself a newspaper. But I grew up with the St. Pete Times, which has won 10 of every award available due to its excellence. To read the 'news' in the Disgrace is to boil your eyeballs in oil. And the way people here fall for every RW tactic, no matter how transparent -- well, let's just say I'm not impressed with the average Richmonder's intelligence.

12. The letters to the editor are quite humorous in their freeperness...

It will be so sweet if VA goes Blue this year.

[Nay]

17. Yep, the LTTEs def raise my blood pressure. Just to realize, as a

horrific part of every horrific day, that such morons populate my immediate area makes me want to :puke:

It will be sweet if VA goes blue, but it will only be due to the influence of N VA, I think. I also expect the more Dem voting precincts to be shorted the number of voting machines they need to process the crowds. We'll see.

16. "From Wire Reports"

that is my fave.

the best part is when you already know the story and read it danced around but never mentioned by the T-D

Their two political writers "Tyler Whitley" (seriously?) and Shapiro are horrific. BTW-Politicos Mike Allen got his start at the T-D

I could go on but for the love of god what part of "retired" does H.Ross Mackenzie not get?

[skooooo]

6. So that's the phrase! "Sea change?"

I've only heard people say it, and I couldn't figure out what it meant really.

How does a sea change though?

[On the Road]

8. The General Meaning is 'a Long-Term Transformation.'

Apparently, it was coined by Shakespeare in 'The Tempest':

Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a Sea-change
Into something rich, & strange.

[skooooo]

14. thanks!

:hi:

[On the Road]

20. You Stimulated Me to Look it Up

I knew the meaning, but not where it came from.

:hi:

[The River]

5. Virginia Is Going Blue

We've been trending that way for a while.
Warner, Webb and Kain are proof of that.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

9. Nice Underpants. It is shocking that the Times Disgrace buried this

:eyes:

[underpants]

15. Not surprising

Did you see that Channel 6 was bought by Sinclair Communications last week?

The Richmond information void is about to get voidier.

[dempartisan23]

10. warner will help alot

if he wins by 20% or more obama will win.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

11. Yep, almost like dual coat-tails...plus with Webb and Kaine joining in

things look pretty solid...

[TheDonkey]

13. excellent hold up. keep it going VA!

[musicblind]

18. Great news, and with PPP being based out of NC. They are pretty close to the action

and probably have an even better perspective of what's going on. K & R. I also believe we will take NC.

[progressoid]

19. Hmmm....would like to see how many Republicans are voting for Obama.

And indies too.
