THE WHITEBOARD
GETTING TO YES?-- President Obama visits his fourth battleground state in two weeks today, heading to Fairfax, Va., to speak on health care reform. The trip follows his earlier excursions to Missouri, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and comes as the clock counts rapidly down toward Sunday's expected vote in the House of Representatives. Obama's event is scheduled to take place at George Mason University, in the school's Patriot Center.
