Special Report: U.S.Presidential Election 2008Republican presidential candidate John McCain has asked supporters in Virginia to help him keep the state from tipping to his Democratic rival, Barack Obama.

Speaking at a rally in Springfield, Virginia, McCain seized on Obama's comment about his victory in Iowa's caucuses last winter.
John McCain said, "This has been a long campaign, but in recent weeks we learned more and more about Senator Obama. He said the other day that his primary victory vindicated his faith in America. My country has never had to prove anything to me, my friends. I've always had faith in it. And, I've been humbled and honored to serve it."
Obama's win over Hillary Rodham Clinton in Iowa put him on the path to being the first black man to be nominated for president by a major political party.
Polls show Obama is leading in Virginia, a state which has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1964.
Pushing for votes one last time in Henderson, Nevada, Obama told people their will is more powerful than politics.
