Northern Virginia Voter Issues In Senate Race
I spent the day visiting polling sites in Reston, Falls Church and Sterling in northern Virginia to talk to voters about the senate race between Sen. George Allen and Democratic challenger Jim Webb. I never mentioned the Iraq War in any of my questions, but every single voter I spoke with did.
Voters supporting both Allen and Webb are angry about how the war has been handled and how many people have been killed. Who they support depended on who they thought could do a better job safely getting the U.S. out of Iraq. Most voters I interviewed favored Webb, which may make sense as I was in northern Virginia. But when I tried to dig deeper into why most offered little information about Webb himself and expressed anger about President Bush. I was surprised most at the level of anger I encountered.
