News Media Commentary: Ten Steps Through Virginia to the White House

A fascinating article by Tim Craig today on the "Ten Steps Through Virginia to the White House."

The very first question addressed in the piece is "What role does Mark R. Warner play for Obama?"

Craig's answer- since Warner is wildly popular and leading 30 points over Gilmore in the polls, he may have an effect on Obama's ability to win Virginia. However (as I guessed before! I so said this!), Craig says it's unclear how public Warner will be with his support of Obama, as he is still trying to attract supporters from moderate Republicans (who could shun Warner if he takes a high-profile role in Obama's campaign).

Ooo I love it when I call things right.

This article is awesome! It really does political analysis very well.

The rest of the article is fascinating too, but absolutely nothing I'm willing to comment on due to my propensity to write articles on the presidential election on UWire Youth Vote '08 and my unwillingness to comment on such issues due to the absolute necessity of me staying as objective as possible on the topic.

And there you go.
