Despite evidence to the contrary, the MSM and their liberal idiot commentators continue to push the memo that "Obama is winning in Virginia."
This poll shows puts the truth to their lie.

Virginia has not given its 13 electoral votes to a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964, and both campaigns are bitterly contesting the new battleground state. George W. Bush (web|news|bio) carried Virginia by 8 points in both 2004 and 2000.
Analysts say it remains a tight race.
"Virginia is still fundamentally a Republican-leaning state. It still hasn't changed too much despite the growth in northern Virginia, and I don't think Obama has any better than a 50/50 chance of winning the state," said Politico's John Kraushaar.
Obama draws his support from the Hampton Roads and northern Virginia regions, with 13-point and 11-point leads, respectively. McCain leads by 23 points in the Shenandoah and by 5 points in Central Virginia.
Is the race close? Of course. It is a battleground? Most definitely.
Is Obama "winning"? No, he's not, despite what the liberal assholes in the MSM may say.
