14. YES! I was there too!

But I wasn't as close as you. I had to drive 2 hours from Maryland but I wanted to see Barack and it was worth it. I talked to a lot of people there and they said there are still a lot of mccain supporters in their communities. I hope that VA goes to Obama but I fear it is still very close
