Why is this important? Do you think that somehow the small amount of people on this will be able to rally together and support McCain, despite this site encompassing an incredibly small percentage of the U.S. population? Besides, this site is not about pushing political agenda. And really, Virginia and Ohio could not be farther from being swing states. They are both easily cemented in McCain's favor.

Give me a break Montana. Virginia is a highly contested state this year with the influx of N. VA demographics/African-American and popularity of Gov.'s Warner and Kaine. Ohio is a state that decided in large part the last two elections in Bush's favor. Ohio has a large percentage of Independents and voters around the Lakes that are Dem.

Virginia may be a possible swing state, but the chances of it actually going to Obama are incredibly slim. And even your link clearly states that Ohio "Leans GOP." Of course, you could ramble all day about conflicting demographics, but as it stands right now, there would have to be a dramatic change in the Obama camp for it to have a chance of winning either state.
