Punching Back Hard In Northern Virginia

Mike Ginsberg, chairman of the 8th District Republican Committee for the Republican Party of Virginia:

I know it looks like this area is for Obama by a mile, with all the yard signs and everything, but I wanted to make a few points to give you some reason for optimism.

One of the jobs of our committee is to provide bumper stickers and signs to supporters. We can’t keep enough of these materials in stock. We get cleaned out of signs and stickers week after week at local farmers’ markets and local festivals and events. There is an enormous amount of support up here in NoVA for the McCain-Palin ticket. The response has been extremely encouraging, absolutely phenomenal. Witness the 23,000 person rally in Fairfax. Bring McCain and Palin back up here to NoVA, and I’ll bet you get another 23,000 folks. The enthusiasm generated with the Palin pick is also still very, very strong.

That’s what they say in Ohio, too, but I don’t see many M/P signs. I think O’Bombers are scooping them up and throwing them away.
