Washington, July 14 (ANI): US President Barack Obama has told Virginia voters that they hold the key to victory in November 6 election, and their vote will help him gain another four years at the White House.
"If I win Virginia, I'm going to get four more years, that I can say with some confidence," ABC News quoted Obama, as telling supporters in Roanoke.
In 2008, Obama ended decades of Republican domination in Virginia, when he became the first Democratic candidate to carry the state since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
"I'm serious, I'm going to get some votes down here. I promise you, we will finish what we started," Obama declared to a crowd of more than 3,000.
While Obama won Virginia by a 53 to 46 margin over Sen. John McCain, four years ago, the president and Romney are expected to fiercely compete for the state's 13 Electoral College votes come November.
"This is going to be critical real estate in this national battle to re-elect President Obama, and we're going to win that battle just like we did in 2008, just like we surprised folks," former governor and Senate candidate Tim Kaine said. (ANI)
