That explains pulling out of Va.
No it doesn't.
Yes, it does. There will be de-emphasis south of the Potomac. The race will be in these states: MI, OH, PA, NM, NH, CO. Depending on the GOP Veep choice, PA might be de-emphasized.
VA's been polling dead even, and it has enough electoral votes to really matter. I agree that he's pulling out of most of the South, including NC and (thank God, finally) GA, and will probably only make token flirtations to Florida, but he's not giving up on the Old Dominion. Not yet, anyway.
