Obama campaign hopes to turn red Virginia blue
Among the states up for grabs in this year’s presidential race is a surprise: Virginia.
It hasn’t voted for a Democrat since Lyndon Johnson in 1964. But in recent years, Virginia has elected back-to-back Democratic governors and a U.S. senator. And a Democrat is highly favored to win this year’s Senate race — all of which has the Barack Obama campaign thinking it can turn the state from red to blue.
