Apparently, we are in play. Bill Clinton was in Roanoke Sunday, and now, Obama less than a week later.

I’ve walked 43 miles over the last 2 weeks mostly in the South Salem area, and other than the magnet on the back of my van, yesterday was the first time I saw any Obama signs – 5 signs in 3 yards. There are numerous McCain and Goodlatte signs, and Mark Warner barely edged out Jim Gilmore in signs.
