McCain Gets New Virginia
The Republican National Committee just announced it is opening 12 new offices in Virginia in an effort to win the state’s 13 electoral votes for John McCain.
The new offices are located in Sterling, Yorktown, Charlottesville, Woodbridge, Blacksburg, Norfolk, Abingdon, Richmond, Springfield, Gainesville, Danville, and Mechanicsville.
The headquarters will organize volunteer activities, the party said in a release.
The extra offices come as the two campaigns continue to spar over the issue of clean coal.
Barack Obama’s campaign released a new TV ad today highlighting his promise to invest millions of federal dollars in improving the environmental impact of coal as an energy source and showcasing an Illinois coal miner who vouches for Obama as a man who understands the industry.
The ad is a clear indication of how the campaign has been stung by a gaffe vice presidential nominee Joe Biden made in Ohio, when he said “we are not supporting clean coal” and the ensuing ads the McCain campaign ran on the issue to amplify the mistake.
