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."

Like your Unibrow!
If it's a Virginian it's Kaine. Webb's a hothead and says he didn't want it. Warner, while he'll be the Senator, dropped out of the White House race because of the skeletons in his closet.
I just don't know if it could be Kaine. He's failed on transportation, failed on the budget and made a fool out of himself saying that Russia bowed to Obama's request. I honestly can't see how he's anything but a liability.
One can hope that all of Falwell's young disciples at Liberty U show up to express how they feel about the Magic Negro's position on abortion.
Another attempt to peel off that young, evangelical vote at Liberty U. the drive-by’s claim is happening. We’ll see how that works out in the end.
Maybe we want to run against him afterall.
I dont think it’s Hillary. The RATS are afraid that having Hillary on the ticket will galvanize GOP voters and bring them to the polls in droves.
Oh, the House GOP leadership has already started with ~not quite~ calling for him to step down if he's picked. After all "who will lead the state through this financial crisis if the governor is off campaigning?"
I think Virginia Republicans gain if Kaine is the Veep.
If Obama chooses Kaine, would Kaine be required to stop down from the governorship during the campaign? Doesn’t Virginia have a Republican lieutenant governor who would take over?
All that being said, it may indeed be Kaine. I'd not thought through the connection of Obama adding an appearance at John Tyler Community College in Chester tomorrow.
John Tyler was the last Virginian to be VP. (and later President)
Either it's a clue, or an elaborate smoke screen to throw us off the trail.
Does anyone know where Kaine was born and raised?
I think he was born in Minnesota (or one of those northern midwest states). He grew up in Kansas.
I think the John Tyler connection is a little too much inside baseball for the masses.
I think it might be Kaine. They like each other. Kaine was one of the first people to endorse the big O. Why would the big O spend 2 days in Virginia if not to announce the VP? That’s a lot of time in one state right before the convention.
Ding. Ding. We have a winner. It's not black folks who are leaving Obama in droves.
And an odd connection at that. Considering that 1) Tyler became President only because Harrison died in office and 2) Tyler was a leader of the Confederacy.
All this VP specualtion has my head absolutely spinning!!!
He is also very inexperienced which is Obama’s problem as well.

LOL!! Love it!! The new “SoreLoserman”!!
