Quote of the Day
From a Virginia Republican reader at the Daily Dish:
Ignorant Christian Fascism is not a recipe for success, it's Saudi Arabia under a different prophet. Count me out. Despite differing with the Democratic platform on a great number of policies, I will gladly vote for the Obama ticket because at a minimum it promises adults at the helm, a rational approach to policymaking, the return of science over theocracy, the restoration of the primacy of the rule of law, and the creative destruction of that assemblage once known as the GOP.

Two Polls Show Obama Up by 10-12% in... Virginia!
I never thought I'd see the day when a Democrat could seriously contest Virginia:
As McCain's Lead Among White Virginians Shrinks, So Too His Chances of Holding The State's 13 Electoral Votes: 29 days until votes are counted in Virginia, Democrat Barack Obama is ahead 53% to 43%, according to this SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, WJLA-TV in Washington DC, WTVR-TV in Richmond, and WJHL-TV in the Tri-Cities. In 4 tracking polls conducted since the Republican Convention, McCain has gone from up by 2 to down by 10.
Update: Another poll confirms it:
A Suffolk Poll shows Obama with a similarly commanding lead in the state, 51% to 39%.

Mark Warner: Lame
Well, I'll say it, Virginia Governor Mark Warner's speech at the convention just now was okay, yet -- compared to what it needed to be -- it ultimately limped across the finish line without much meat or spice. The worst part was his 4-minute spiel about how much of a wonderful governor he's been for Virginia -- WTFC (who the f cares)? I have been skeptical about recent assessments about how lame much of this convention has been but, well, Warner's speech was just so embarrassingly bland.
As Andrew Sullivan put it:
I'm not judging their accomplishments, merely noting that Mark Warner and Bob Casey were terribly mediocre speakers, their speeches unfocused, their themes muddled, and their style close to non-existent. I guess none of this matters much until the networks move in at 10 pm. But what's been broadcast tonight has been a meandering, tedious mess. I always associated the Obama campaign with crisp, clear messaging. Not tonight.

Super Tuesday 2 Live Blog
9:33 - I've tallied up the numbers and Obama would be far ahead in delegates, even if the Democrats had a winner-take-all system! See my spreadsheet here.
9:30 - NBC News just called the Maryland race for Obama "by a substantial margin"! Another clean sweep! How many of these clean sweeps can Hillary stand?
9:07 - Obama wins Washington D.C. Oh dear, now I have to listen to Clinton again.
8:50 - Not much new news. As a friendly commenter noted, it's Obama "money bomb" day. Donate $5.01, or whatever you can, by midnight tonight.
7:47 - I just got home and WOW, Obama won Virginia by what looks to be a landslide. According to exit polls, he won almost every demographic group except old women. I am really starting to believe that Clinton's campaign "strategy" of "If you're a state with caucuses, too many black people or too few delegates: F&*k off" might prove to be as stupid and disastrous as Giuliani's "I'll just wait until Florida" strategy.
