HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - President Barack Obama is expected to draw thousands to the Ted Constant Convocation Center in Norfolk today as he continues to campaign for Virginia Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Creigh Deeds . Crews inside "The Ted" worked overnight Tuesday to change the venue from a comedy event to the stage that can handle a major political rock show.
The Deeds campaign has been running ads for weeks showing the President supporting Deeds for Governor. Today he'll be doing it in person, much to the enjoyment of his youngest supporters.
9-year-old Asia Shell and her father, who both campaigned for Deeds over the weekend, were first to arrive at the Ted Tuesday, getting there at 4 a.m. Shell said her mother initially was against her missing school, until she worked hard for the campaign to earn a pair of tickets.
"I knocked on probably about 100 doors because it is a big deal to me," said Asia.
Tuesday's event comes four days after Republican candidate Bob McDonnell had Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele rallying support for a GOP Governor's win.

Deeds is smelling the diesel from the Obama bus bearing down on him ...... he’s going to have tire tracks up his back shortly.
That ought to be good for a couple more points for McDonnell.
That ought to add atleast 5 pts. McDonnel’s lead.
LMAO what a joke. Norfolk is Navy turf and Obama is not liked.
Even ACORN could not pull off this area for dems / Obama again.
People are now awake and aware even if the black panthers try to block voting places it won’t work. The race card is no longer in the playing deck as a trump.

The Race Card is maxed out.
If some conservative Dems want to join the GOP, I’d be glad to trade them for a few RINOs.
I’m beginning to think the Dems already know they’ve lost this race, and are going to lose the House next year.
So they’re in “go down swinging” mode...if they’re going down, they’re swinging the whole way down.
They should have left the comedy event setting in place - it's more appropriate.
Yes I always listen to nine-year-olds campaigning.
Ask her where her costume is, tell her it's the wrong day, then give her a piece of candy anyway.

Its get out the vote time.
True, but it’s all about the “cult of personality”. The Dems are still trying to push the perception that Obama is a rock star. Unfortunately for the Dems, that false image is just not cutting it anymore.
Why bother?
This is a black event. They gave away tickets at black churches this sunday during the “worship services”, where Deeds was introduced and made political speeches from the pulpit.
I think it’s great if they get hundreds of 9-year-olds to show up and hear about voting for Deeds.
Because in Virginia, while I imagine we have some vote fraud, we are pretty good about not letting 9-year-olds vote.
Deeds is not doing well in the polls, and at the rate things are going, Zero’s “help” will hasten the “crash and burn”.
Anyone remember when some Dems were trying to avoid endorsements from the Clinton White House?
Now in New Jersey, Christie and Corslime are running even in the polls. Who the hey is the third party candidate there?
