Bob Gibson: Charlottesville becoming a hot destination for presidential candidates

With visits scheduled this fall from Democratic presidential candidates Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, Charlottesville has become an important destination for those seeking high-dollar donations. That’s what Bob Gibson wrote this week in the Daily Progress, and he joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now to talk about it. Bob says he hopes that when the two candidates come to visit, they’ll find time to campaign with ordinary folks as well as potential donors.

Former Governor Mark Warner, who gave up a presidential bid last year, is expected this week to announce if he will seek a run for the U.S. Senate, or if he will run for another term as Virginia’s top executive. The news that Warner may run has Republicans scrambling. Bob has that story as well.
