FROM BARACK OBAMA'S WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER:

Saturday was a gorgeous day in Newport News, as thousands of people flocked to the water's edge in Victory Landing Park to hear Barack Obama speak. The rally overlooked the James River, with a Navy ship serving as an austere backdrop. The theme of the speech was healthcare issues.
Folks were energized by Barack's call to action to register and to vote. He proclaimed that Virginia has a chance to help change the course of the country -- to save the failing economic system and guard against the privatization of health insurance.
Please enjoy photos from the day and listen as four Virginians from the rally share their views on why it is imperative for people to vote for Barack.
