Virginia GOP ad refers to anonymous dark-skinned man as "evil."

The shocking Republican racism increases at an alarming rate. A GOP party spokesman won't say if the man in the picture is supposed to be Obama.

Virginia GOP chairman claims link between Obama and Bin Laden....

http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1849422,00.html

I wish I was making this up.....this is the sort of outrageous garbage we are up against. There should be a huge public campaign initiated for this guy to be fired.

Obama: Come to Fairfax

And not just once. Northern VA is a HUGE part of your ability to turn VA blue - and after McCain/Palin came with their 23,000 crowd - we need you to come and blow that figure out of the water. We're moderates here - and we don't like evangelicals running the government.

Obama needs to publicly address the Voter Disenfranchisement

We are hearing of more and more examples of GOP dirty tricks to disenfranchise voters. In Virginia students are being scrubbed from the voter rolls, in Florida it's blacks, in Michigan the GOP is scrubbing voters who are in foreclosure, and the latest crime is in Ohio where millions of fake absentee ballots have been sent to likely Obama voters with the wrong address for the Voter Registrar.

Campaign Surrogates

The 2008 Democratic National Convention was a beautiful moment for the Obama Campaign. I believe that it highlighted the position of Barack Obama very well, along with having numerous wonderful speeches aimed at unifying the party. The Clintons came through with their speeches, something which does not surprise me but which I was nonetheless slightly worried over.

Get Virginia and Youngin's

If Obama was able to get Virginia, he'll win the electoral votes he needs...this can be accomplished by visiting every large university in the state! Shaking a hand and making eye contact gets a vote! The more people he comes in contact with in person, the more votes he'll get! Target the 18-25 crowd and get those who havn't voted before!

The Clinton's job in this campaign

The McCain Campaign will be targeting Hillary Clinton voters like crazy. They will shower Michigan and Florida with ads highlighting Sarah Palin as a substitute for Hillary Clinton. A response to this can be an ad campaign starring Hillary Clinton supporting Obama and contrasting herself with Palin. Bill Clinton's role will come in the South.

Swing State Strategy: Winning the Rural Vote

As we saw in Pennsylvania during the primaries, winning the Rural Vote (which for a Democrat would mean 40% or more) is one of the single most important elements of a Swing State strategy.

The Obama Campaign has proven itself very good at boosting turn-out in friendly urban areas as well as winning over suburban voters, but winning the Rural Vote has proven to be a significant challenge.

Obama should come to Virginia Tech

Obama needs to come to Virginia Tech, or the surrounding area, to campaign. Southwest Virginia is the most Republican part of our swing state, and provides a very good opportunity for him to get votes. Much of the region follows the university very closely and is closely tied to it as well.
