Nelson County, VA is FOR OBAMA!!

[Heather MC]

For those who don't know, Nelson County is where the term "lynching" came from.
My mother told me today she rarely sees McLame signs in Nelson County, she mostly sees Obama signs.

This Great News IMO, I know Obama has a good Lock on NO VA but I wasn't sure how SO VA was doing.

1. Nelson and Albemarle are must win counties in Virginia

I've been to Charlottesville and Albemarle County before, but I don't know much about Nelson County. Maybe a lot of out of staters are moving in?

and won in Nelson by 4 votes.

3. Good to hear!

I went on a bike ride in Varina (east of Richmond) today. Lots of Obama/Biden signs!
VA still has lots of 25%ers, but hopefully people are waking up to the reality of the republican lie!

4. Is Rockfish Creek in Nelson County (or I am thinking of Fluvanna)?

That's where Earl Hammner, the creator of The Waltons grew up and where the show was supposed to have originated.
