[EL] Where Johnson is making a difference

[Rob Richie]

And let's not forget about Virgil Goode, the former Republican Congressman
who is running as the Constitution Party nominee. Goode represented
Virginia in Congress, with Virginia poised to be one of the three or four
most important swing states of the 2012 cycle.

Richard Winger shared this item about Goode's potential numbers in Virginia
in this item pasted in below.
