#1 Champ's base will erode quite rapidly the further south of Charlottesville he ventures. In fact, I wouldn't advise him to go south of Charlottesville at all. And don't even consider visiting Franklin County.

#3 Maybe they've been reading the net on the number of venues that got stuck with security bills the One's campaign offices refuse to reimburse.

#7 School officials offered John Paul Jones Arena, but were told it "was not academic enough" by the Obama for America campaign.
