Battleground Virginia: Could a reliably Republican state turn blue?
The state of Virginia has not voted for a Democratic president
since 1964, but this year its 13 electoral votes are up for grabs
as late polls show the race too close to call. NOW ON PBS goes
behind the national polls and punditry and into living rooms of
real Virginia voters to learn how they'll be making their
decisions. Military families, retirees and blue-collar workers of
all political stripes share their concerns about faith, the war and
making ends meet in troubling economic times.
Also on the show, an update on the economic crisis. As the
government expands its protective reach into the private sector,
now including banks, how will this ease the financial burden on
private citizens? NOW checks in with the AFL-CIO's Damon Silvers,
who has been closely involved in Congressional negotiations for the
financial rescue plan, for answers and insight.
