Obama Sees a Lead in Virginia

Barack Obama's campaign unveiled a presentation today that labels Virginia a swing state -- which would be of no suprise, but it contrasts with a similar John McCain campaign memo that put Virginia in the "solid Republican" column earlier this month.

The Obama presentation given to reporters in Washington includes a June 16 poll showing Obama with a two-point lead over McCain in Virginia. That's well within the +/- 3.3 point margin of error.

On a slide titled "Expanding the Map: Turning Red States Blue," Obama's campaign lists Virginia with five other states -- including Ohio -- that Bush won in 2004.
