In what looks to be a shakeup of the Virginia electorate, the recent
Survey USA poll is all Obama.

In an election for President of the United States in Virginia today, 09/15/08, 7 weeks till votes are counted, Democrat Barack Obama defeats Republican John McCain 50% to 46%, according to this latest SurveyUSA poll conducted for WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, WJLA-TV in Washington DC, WTVR-TV in Richmond, and WJHL-TV in the Tri-Cities. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released one week ago, immediately following the Republican National Convention, Obama is up 3 points; McCain is down 3. The movement solidifies Virginia place as America's 2008 battleground.

1. The election commission here just requested an additional 200,000 ballots.

My wife has been going door to door for Obama (here in Northern VA) and says they had over 200 volunteers this Saturday.

4. NC is next!

With an even higher African American voting percentage, Obama needs only 37% of the White vote.

5. Great news.

A combination of population shifts and hard work by the volunteers.
