College Republicans target voters in Virginia
ARLINGTON, Va. - The GW College Republicans did not have to work hard to win over resident Monina Nader during their canvassing trip Saturday here.
She already displays side-by-side pictures of President George W. Bush and Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain on her refrigerator.
But in the battle for votes in the highly contested presidential race in Virginia, the CRs tried to get every moderate and Republican to come out for McCain on Election Day.
About 20 CRs traveled to the McCain national headquarters in Arlington where the group convened before heading door to door through the surrounding neighborhoods to promote their candidate.
Virginia’s role in the election became even more critical this year, as it has allowed early voting - polls around Virginia open for voting on Friday. This change has caused both parties to double their campaign efforts.
