Obama, Webb to campaign in Lynchburg Wednesday

Monday, Aug 18, 2008

Sen. Barack Obama has added a Lynchburg appearance with Sen. Jim Webb to his pass through Virginia this Wednesday.

Webb and Obama will hold a town hall meeting with voters, which will focus on improving the economy and Obama's plans for a tax cut for middle-class families and $4,000 in college tuition tax credits, according to the campaign. The event is free and open to the public.

Earlier Wednesday, Obama and former Gov. Mark R. Warner will visit Martinsville. There, they will meet with workers and families who have been affected by what the Obama campaign calls the "failed trade policies of the Bush administration, policies John McCain promises to continue."

Of the 134 counties and cities in the state, Martinsville has the highest unemployment rate, measured in June at 11.4 percent.

Obama is expected to make additional stops in Virginia this week, but the campaign has not confirmed other visits.

Seems a little too obvious now, no?

7. I think Kaine's the one.
Just a gut feeling, although I've had at least 5 different gut feelings now. :)

8. I don't care what any of them have said or done...
...it could still be any one of them. Personally, I would prefer Warner, then Webb. I know that Virginians want their two democratic senators.. Well, Kaine could run for senate. Problem solved.
