Obama on stage; thanks SW Virginia

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama shakes hands with the crowd in Roanoke as he enters the Roanoke Civic Center for a campaign rally.

Obama called Webb "a warrior on behalf of working families across Virginia."

He also cited Boucher but misidentified Roanoke as being part of Boucher's 9th district.

Obama also recognized Virginia Del. Onzlee Ware, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine and former Gov. Mark Warner.

  1. That dosent suprise me that Congressman Boucher would claim Roanoke as part of the Ninth District. He seems to claim every thing else including the creation of the internet....or was that Al Gore? I sure he has plans to gerimander Roanoke after November 4th.
