Morning Read: Virginians, Hope You Like Stump Speeches

There are fewer than two weeks until Election Day and Virginians, expect to see a lot more campaigning because your state is still famously undecided.

Details are pending, but President Bill Clinton—who boasts an approval rating that far surpasses both Mitt Romney’s and President Barack Obama’s—is scheduled to campaign alongside Obama in Prince William County Monday.

Obama is campaigning in Richmond this morning, while Romney will be making his way to the state’s capital on Sunday. The governor will also campaign in Prince William County that morning at Battlefield High School in Haymarket, doors open at 10 a.m.

(Obama famously carried Prince William County in 2008 by 25,000 votes—the first Democrat to win the county, and subsequently the state, in 44 years.)

Rep. Paul Ryan is campaigning in Bristol today and heading to Charlottesville tonight for another event.  Joe Biden will be in Central Virginia Saturday.

And Virginians, if you have any doubt that your 13 electoral votes are among the most coveted, remember, Obama brought The Boss to your state.
