Obama, Webb to campaign in Lynchburg, Virginia Wednesday (Is Tim Kaine 'The Eyebrow' his VP choice?)
Richmond Times Dispatch ^ | Monday, Aug 18, 2008 | - Olympia Meola

Posted on 08/19/2008 7:24:47 PM PDT by HokieMom

Sen. Barack Obama has added a Lynchburg appearance with Sen. Jim Webb to his pass through Virginia this Wednesday.

Webb and Obama will hold a town hall meeting with voters, which will focus on improving the economy and Obama's plans for a tax cut for middle-class families and $4,000 in college tuition tax credits, according to the campaign. The event is free and open to the public.

Earlier Wednesday, Obama and former Gov. Mark R. Warner will visit Martinsville. There, they will meet with workers and families who have been affected by what the Obama campaign calls the "failed trade policies of the Bush administration, policies [Arizona Sen.] John McCain promises to continue."

What in the world is his background anyway? (I’ll look it up). I think the pick is the “charmed one” Biden.

Obama adds events Thursday in Chester, Chesapeake Virginia

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine will join Sen. Barack Obama in Chester on Thursday morning, for an invitation-only event that will be the third stop on the Illinois senator's two-day tour through Virginia.

On Thursday evening Obama will proceed to Chesapeake, where he will hold a town hall meeting at Oscar Smith High School.

Obama starts his Virginia swing Wednesday morning in Martinsville, where he will be joined by former Gov. Mark R. Warner. He stops later Wednesday in Lynchburg with Sen. Jim Webb.

Dick Morris said on Hannity last night that Kaine was a mayor of Richmond, Virginia. He's from out-of-state. Before that, I don't know his background. He married into a Virginia family.

Will Webb be carrying his handgun or let another aide get caught with it. Just make sure the crowd watches Jim’s eyes. They’re a good indicator of when the bipolar senator is about to switch poles.

Oh geesh. Why would they be campaigning there? Lynchburg is like a little piece of Utah.

I think it might be Hillary.

If Hillary accepts and Obama wins, she will look at 2016 (how old will she be than?)

If Hillary accepts and Obama looses, she will look at 2012.

If Omama picks someone other than Hillary and Omama looses, she is looking at 2012

If Omama picks someone other than Hillary and Omama wins, she is looking at 2016

If he chooses Hillary after saying his wife and his mother are his first two advisers at Saddleback, he’ll look like a mama’s boy.

Like his predecessor Mark Warner both were disasters just one was a better liar and now a lot of people are being tricked again by the slick liberal Warner. Gilmore was an outstanding Governor, he cut taxes, cut state spending, and did all this even with 9-11 and managed to leave a sizable surplus which was not only squander but Mark Warner increased state spending from $18.2 billion to $36 billion in his last budget. He and Kaine are both bad jokes. Luckily the turn coat GOPers Chichester are mostly gone. Virginia is finally turning red again and with the election of Bob McDonnell we will be back on track in this state.
