U.S. Rep. Virgil H. Goode Jr., R-Rocky Mount, is accusing the campaign of his challenger, Democrat Tom Perriello, of embellishing his support from the National Rifle Association.

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama may be ahead in the polls nationally and in Virginia, but New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has one piece of advice for Obama’s Charlottesville-area supporters: The election isn’t over yet.

Former Gov. Mark R. Warner continues to hold a colossal lead over former Gov. Jim Gilmore in the race to replace John W. Warner in the U.S. Senate.

Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has taken a slight lead among Virginia voters, pulling ahead of Republican John McCain in the past two weeks, a new statewide poll has found.

I am deeply upset by the damage to Obama/Warner/Perriello campaign signs here in Nelson County.

I read The Daily Progress almost daily. Readers write heartfelt letters about the benefits of either Barack Obama or John McCain as the next U.S. president.

For those riding the rails of the political fence, deciding for whom to vote can be a difficult thing.

In this election cycle both national parties are calling for change. Though each party has its spin on the subject, there is unanimity in the declaration that Washington is broken.

John McCain, Barack Obama, et al.: Enough!

Virgil Goode might not have “agreed” to a televised debate — but he should have.

I have noticed that both presidential candidates have espoused “change.”

One candidate served in the Navy as a field grade officer, flew 23 combat missions and acquitted himself heroically while being tortured in a communist POW camp for more than five years.

Focus on policies and principles, not just experience or distractions like race.

I am not surprised Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Rocky Mount, cancelled his televised debate with Tom Perriello, Democrat.

So tell me, Jim Gilmore and Virgil Goode ...
