The last three published polls out of VA show Obama ahead. When the story of this campaign is written will it be said that the president had a small but significant lead in the states necessary to win an Electoral College victory and he never relinquished it.

1. The Virginia Obama Surge is Real!

2. Romney cannot close the gender gap and therefore cannot take Virginia.

Look for media to try to make this a close race--it is not. So for those that are keeping score:

IA, OH, VA, NV, WI. I look for Obama to focus on Colorado next. He can let Florida be Florida. And New Hampshire will break democrat in the end.

From here on out focus on EV count--forget about polls. External polls cannot capture what is happening on the ground at this time. Both candidates rely on internal polls and EV counts. And to paraphrase Axelrod We know what we know and they know what we know and we'll see on election day.

FORWARD!

3. It's clear that VA is now trending toward Obama.

Romney's route to 270 is getting slimmer with each passing day.

6. As VA turns blue..

Romney's chance of winning is disappearing.

7. Yep.

Virginia is the President's.

8. Feel much better about VA now.

Romney did seem to have some traction in VA, but if you believe these last two polls, the President is opening up a lead there.

9. I think the third debate showed Romney's true color

and caused many to switch back to President Obama. First they had an opportunity to see how easy it is for Romney to absolutely lie. Then they saw how clueless he is in regard to foreign policy. Still laughing at the ship/horses comment! President Obama owned Mitt the liar!

10. We Have "Transvaginal Bob" McDonalds For Laying This Out So Nicely For The President

Three or four consecutive nights on John Stewart will pretty much alienate people with IQs over 90...

11. RO-MENTUM BABY!

[WI_DEM]

12. Good news! thanks for posting.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

13. Virginia will be owned by BO

What do we know about Cantor? Is he well behind I hope?

[AspenRose]

14. Hope it continues

I have been somewhat discouraged by the number of Romney/Ryan signs in my neck of the woods

PS: GO Gary Johnson!
GO Virgil Goode!

LOL

15. Recent polls looking encouraging for both VA and CO

Both are good buffers for WI/IA/NH though in all likelihood I think he'll take those three if he takes CO/VA.

Polls were showing Obama with fairly consistent leads until the first debate, after which it appeared that Romney had gained a lot of traction in the state.
