A Path to Victory

The map featured above provides a visual representation of the county results from the 2008 Presidential election. It was in that election that Barack Obama beat John McCain in the state of Virginia by a comfortable 6 point margin, 53 percent to 47 percent. This marked the first time a Democrat carried the state of Virginia since 1964. This map illustrates that there are Democratic voters in Virginia, and they are willing to come out and vote. Our job is to motivate these voters. We need to show them exactly how much is at stake in this election.

As the photo clearly illustrates, not all areas of the Commonwealth are fertile territory for a Democratic candidate, but it gives us a blueprint to find voters that will support us. In the final six days of this campaign, all of our efforts should be dedicated to these areas. The Deeds campaign needs to send prominent surrogates to every blue area on this map. From now to Election Day, there needs to be a strong Democratic presence in these areas, encouraging people to come out to vote. If voters get the feeling that this race is already decided, they will not be motivated to vote.
