Virginia: In Virginia, Large Voting Blocs for McCain and for Obama
Sep 25th, 2008The New York Times has an article and map graphic outlining the challenges and strengths of the McCain and Obama campaigns in Virginia.

Johnson in 1964, and Republican Party leaders say the selection of Ms. Palin has improved Mr. McCain’s chances of carrying the state.
