Obama leading in Virginia

Virginia has been called a swing state in a lot of the Electoral College projections.  And it's been close.  But it looks like my neighbors in the Old Dominion, despite the so-called "leadership" of caveman Bob McDonnell, Coochie Cuccinelli, and trying-again George Allen, are swinging in the right direction, with the Post poll putting Obama up by 8%, and the Quinnipiac poll having him up by 4%.   (The Q poll also has the Prez up by 6% in Wisconsin, also good news.  Especially making Romney/Ryan have to fight for Paulie's home state.)

Post Poll:  Obama up by 8 points in Virginia


"The Post poll highlights the fact that the president is benefiting from strong support among women. Obama leads among female voters 58 percent to 39 percent; men divide 50 percent for Romney and 44 percent for Obama. Compared with 2008 exit polls, Obama is running somewhat worse among men this year but is doing better among women, who made up a majority of the Virginia electorate four years ago and are likely to do so again this year."

You go, girls.
