On top of that Democrat Jon Corzine close ally of President Obama he is up against Chris Christie -- the former attorney general of the state. They are infected dead heat folks right now depends on what you look at I mean they are very closely split. In the bottom of your screen right there Republican Bob McDonnell polling way ahead right now a Democrat -- in that eight by going not. For Virginia and we are casting Downey in a brand new hour of America's Newsroom everybody up Martha MacCallum."
" And today -- nice to have you back -- American morning Q and a Monday now I'm Bill Hemmer good morning everybody two races and team fox election coverage now Shannon Bream is live in. Freehold New Jersey but first Carl Cameron. Back on the campaign trail I'd like he never left -- I mean honestly I he's in Richmond Virginia let's start review Karl on good morning to hear what is the state of the race. In the old dominion."
" Perpetual -- perpetual campaign bill and we could talk the governor's race we could talk 2010 congressional Laurie in the presidential election of 2012 because you know what it is. All. Wired in together here on the case of this election. The Republican does seem to have a bit of an advantage. Bob McDonnell as the former attorney general he actually -- deeds for that seat for years ago creek -- the democratic nominee. Is a moderate. Rural Democrat in a state senator and he has really struggled trying to capture the energy that Democrats had in the 2000 presidential election. That President Obama did he was the first. Democrat to win in Virginia for president in decades. And that energy and enthusiasm just doesn't seem to be -- for creek feeds the Republicans look at Virginia as an opportunity for big pick up.

The Obama administration and Democrats would dearly love to keep it a blue gubernatorial office. And yet. It looks like it may be turning to sell the White House essentially said that the dean's campaign had blown it. That they were running a clever campaign they were taking advantage of the Republican McDonald's weaknesses. And that if Virginia went red in the governor's office it wouldn't be the White House's fault or the Obama agenda or what's going on in Washington. It would be solely on the shoulders of the candidate. They said that actually a week before President Obama came out here and campaign for three -- left just last week. It's worth noting perhaps that while mr. Obama has gone and campaign not once but five times for Jon Corzine and -- in Jersey incumbent Democrat there. He's only come out twice for -- these last time with what -- Karl thank you for that Richmond Virginia live there Carl Cameron is never coming home."
