Analysis: Obama coming on strong in Northern Virginia
We have new numbers in and Obama is winning Loudoun County and Prince William County by increasing margins. Those are the two key swing counties I had identified as the ones to watch in the state.
We have 32 percent of the vote reporting in both localities. In Prince William, Obama is taking 55 percent of the vote. In Loudoun County, he's getting 51 percent of the vote. Both of those were counties Bush took in 2004.
Obama is also picking up Henrico County, outside Richmond. Henrico went for Bush; this year, with 97 percent of the vote in, Obama is taking 55 percent of the vote there.
